50 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Edeka, Kleve.
Clear golden with a white head. Grainy malty aroma. Sweet taste with a medium bitter finish. Packs quite a punch for its modest 4% ABV.

500ml can: BB 6th Jul 2020. Brewed in Slovenia or Slovakia under licence. Obtained from a local 'Eastern European store' in Wellington, Shropshire. Drank at home on 5th May 2020. Second beer after mowing my lawns and a bit of weeding, lovely sunny afternoon, so sat in the garden and soaked up some rays and sank some lager/pils to quench my thirst. This wasn't up to much; looks clean, clear and bright golden with a fast fading white head. Sadly there was very little aroma or flavours. Slightly more malts than hops in the nose and semi-sweet taste, but overall a little disappointing.

550 ml can from a supermarket in Praha. Malty, but light, biscuits and a bit of butter. Light hops. Pale gold, clear. Thin malt flavor, bit of cardboard, herbs, spicy hops. Thin and weak, just a bit of Czech character.

The ‘standard’ version of this popular Czech Pilsener brand, from a 50 cl can straight from the Czech Republic, thanks Guido! Moussy, frothy, lacing, snow white, relatively well-retaining head, warm, deep ‘old gold’ colour, clear with vivid sparkling. Aroma of white bread crust, soggy chicken grains, canned corn, old cloth, dusty straw, green garden herbs, dried camomile, grass, minerals. Neutral onset, cereally and grainy sweetness but in a pleasant way, a tad powdery and vaguely glueish, white bready with very prominent mineral effects; medium-bodied, ending with a light metallic ‘zing’ (probably from the can in this case) as well as dried clover- and camomile-like, floral, herbal hoppiness, provding late, soft bitterness well in balance with the malts. The minerally aspects linger. Clearly above average for a pale lager the ‘pils’ way, but not necessarily so for a Bohemian Pilsener; still a good introduction, quiet and low profile as it may be, for non-geeks to learn that even this kind of canned Czech lagers is of notably better quality than the larger macro brands in the more western parts of Europe – or the U.S. for that matter.
