Clear medium yellow colour with a average, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, toasted, grass, vegetables. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration, sharp hops. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20120817]

Bottle. Pours fizzy, very pale yellow with unstable white head. Sourish, bitter aroma of hop. Doesn’t taste of much, very watery with a bitter note of hop. It reminds me uncannily of Swedish light beer. Definitely not Czech inspired, althpugh it says so on the label. Not anything recommendable.

Bottle @ Home. Pours clear yellow with a fading white head. Aroma of malt, grain, , cardboard, sourness. Flavor of malt, grain, sugar, light grass. Thin to medium body, lively carbonation. 201112

Bottle (500ml from Eastern European Foods, Glasgow - £1.59):
Offensive, cheap lager aroma that attacks the nostrils right off the bat. There is a sort of skunky corn aroma and some cheap, basic malts following them. It is a slight bit sour with a metallic aroma and a floral, hoppy aroma that isn’t the freshest.
Pale straw colour with some bubbles rising to the surface and a rather large looking, foamy white head on top that stays for well over five minutes without movement.
A slightly unpleasant mixture of corn, malts and some grassy hops but none of these are particularly appealing. This one ranks up there with the worst tasting beers I’ve had in some time.
Rather light and grainy with moderate carbonation and a sort of skunky, cheap feel to the beer.

Another truly awful beer, up there with the worst I have tried and not much in the way of redeeming features really. It tasted cheap, unbalanced and it didn’t seem to sit right in the stomach; that and the flavours themselves were pretty basic and not very adventurous.
