Can, almost a year old, well after the best before date on the can. Pours a crystal clear golden color with a very thin white head, hardly lasts at all. Nose is almost nothing. If anything, the faintest hint of some hops. Flavor is decently bitter, but not remarkable. Maybe a little skunky? But that’s a little unexpected from a can. The taste is very crisp and clean, which is appropriate for the style. Mouthfeel is reasonably carbonated, but that’s again, probably appropriate to style. Not bad, but not great.

on tap Prague. Not much to add, typical czech pilsner. It is OK for a session brew but i prefer Urquell or Gambrinus

Lemon, grain, sweet malt, and corn aroma. Golden with white head. Lemon and hop note flavours. Decent balance, refreshing, with mild bitter finish.

Poured from bottle into Pilsner glass. Slightly pale but rich gold with thin white head and intermittent lacing. Aroma is very grassy and spicy, with a light malt profile underneath. Smells pretty dry overall. Also, happy that it smells fairly fresh despite the green bottle. Light malt profile with grass, hay and apple; only a slight sweetness. Turns slightly spicy and bitter at the end, but only slightly. Moderately high carbonation, medium-light body (more medium for a Pils as expected for the Czech style), dry finish. Easy drinking lager that is better than most of the international lagers it competes against, but probably only average in terms of Czech Pilsners.

Bottle, 50cl. Pours a clear golden beer with a small white head. The aroma is corn with notes of hops and fruit. The flavor is hops. The palate is dry and bitter. Overall an average beer.

Draught at Olearys Kungsholmen. Pours golden with very little head. Floral and citrusy hops, thought it was american and not czech at first

On tap at a restaurant in Prague. Pours a golden colour with a white head. Flavour is of bread, mild hops and grass. Refreshing on a hot day, but nothing special here.
