Jun 29, 2006 Bottle. Bright gold with a coarse, fluffy, nearly white head. Sweet flowery aromas with, of course, skunk. Very light malt flavors with some tasty Czech hop flavors and minimal bitterness. Thin bodied and fairly dry. Kind of a Urquell lite. I’m sure I could drink this easily, but it’s not worth the price when Urquell is better.

Jun 29, 2006 On draft in a number of locations in Prague. I had been told Czech beer was supposed to be among the best in the world. This brew was everywhere, and seemed to be the MGD of the Czech Republic. Golden yellow with small white head with good lacing. Strong citrus nose with mild hops. Smooth drinking. Generally a mild pilsener with nothing remarknble at all. I sure expected more.

Jun 27, 2006 Updated: Oct 20, 2007Seriously disappointing. I was expecting a full flavored, pils, or, perhaps, a toned-down pils for the American market. What I got was little more than an under-hopped lager. Indeed, my reaction to the mouth, the nose, the appearance, was uniformly "just a well made lager." // Just a lager ... maybe not even well made.

Jun 23, 2006 Bottled. Pours a pale amber color with lacy white head.
The aroma is lightly citrus.
Light body with medium carbonation.
The taste has some nutty, spicy notes with a piney finish. Tasty, but seems a bit light on the malt and hops for a Bomemian Pils.

Jun 23, 2006 Sweet smelling, fairly sweet on the palate, some hops with a bitter finish. Decent with spicy food.

Jun 10, 2006 When I mention to people here in Sweden that I drink beer, they always mention Czech beer, especially Staropramen as if it were some sort of holy grail. Let me assure you, it is not. I struggle to find flavours other than a stuffy stale maltiness and a cloying sweetness that makes me want to go drink something else.

Jun 9, 2006 A moderately pleasant Czech pilsner. Not as good as Urquell, but drinkable in a pinch.
A hint of Saaz aroma, and a reasonably dry finish.
