Aroma: Very strong notes of graphite, chalk, paper, cardboard, fresh and pure barley grains, oily accents, fat malty sweetness, leavy-herbal hoppy nose, well balanced between sweetness, bitterness and saltyness, mineral, strong with well hidden alcohol, notes of clementine and citruses, mainly lemon.
Flavour: Very nice and satisfying beer full of classic Bohemian Pilsener flavour, fat malty-grainy, pure, sweet base being balanced with sharply bitter hops, quite high ammount of hops is also present in retro-nasal aroma refected in leavy herbal and slightly citric-fruity hoppy nose, very noble type of hops, probably Zatec, very crispy malty aspect easy going, soft, mineral, full of flavour, satisfying and unforgetable with long finish duration.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is dry, carbonation on palate is moderate, finish feel is highly astringent, bitter, sharp, very clean, mineral, crispy.

0.5 l can, courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured golden body with smaller head. Malty and hoppy aroma, slightly boring but fine. Flavor was fine as well, with herbal and flowery hops and strange malt, which ruins it a bit, it’s slightly eggy. Quite thin bodied. Had short, relatively bitter finish. Not bad, pleasant but lacks body.

0.5l can that my mother found at the Ipercoop in Kaštela. Shared with heavy, who apparently killed Plato. Poured a golden body with a medium-small white head that went away fast. Slightly spicy herbal nose, some light dry slightly eggy maltiness, balanced in a way. The taste is domeinated by a slightly dusty herbal hopiness, some light chewy maltiness (maybe toffee). A bit eggy. Not bad, better than expected. Hmm expected just a pale lager looking at the name, but this is a typical Czech pilsner.
