COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Can, bottle, keg: Filtered B:Original / Original Czech Lager Sold as Czechvar in most of the Americas (due to a trademark dispute with Anheuser-Busch), and as Budweiser Budvar in the rest of the world. Has adopted the subtitles "B: Original", "Original Czech Lager" or just "Original", depending on market, to emphasis that the company was the first to use the Budweiser name. Brewed using whole-cone, Saaz hops from Žatec, pristine water from an Ice Age aquifer, Moravian malting barley and our heritage lager yeast, this classic rich and full-flavoured lager sets the gold standard for Czech brewing across the world. The tradition of cold-conditioning in our brewery cellars for seven times longer than most other beers creates a pale lager with a sweet, deep golden body and an aromatic, hoppy foam. Bold in taste, yet refreshing and perfectly balanced. Cone hops, water from deep Artesian wells of 300m depth, Moravian malt, brewers' unique skills and long maturing in lager cellars. A lager that contributes to the already reputable Czech beer brewing industry all over the world. Malt: Czech malt Hops: Žatecký poloraný červeňák (ŽPČ) • hops cone 10 EBC

Biroholik (5397) - Sosnowiec, Poland, POLAND - MAR 18, 2024
UPDATED: MAR 18, 2024 Słodkie, słodowe, kukurydziane, miodowe, utlenione. Bez grama goryczki. Puste i płaskie…

NobleTasty51 (455) - - MAR 4, 2024
UPDATED: MAR 4, 2024 Piwo barwy złotej, klarowne. Piana biała, średnio wysoka, zbudowana z różnej wielkości oczek, znika dosyć szybko, pozostawia szczątkowy lacing. W zapachu kukurydza, nieco aromatów chlebowych, biszkopt oraz trochę nut tytoniowych i konopnych (zielona butelka). Dwuacetyl w postaci jogurtu pojawia się po ogrzaniu, niestety jest również zapach starej szmaty. W smaku delikatnie słodowe, herbatnikowe, nieco zbytnio wodniste. Wyczuwalny delikatny maślany posmak zwieńczony goryczką ziołową na raczej niskim poziomie. Ogólnie przyzwoite ale są duże lepsze lezaki.

borderline_alco (414) - Durham, Durham, ENGLAND - NOV 21, 2023
UPDATED: NOV 21, 2023 Malty aroma. Pours dark gold with decent head. Flavour is like regular cheap Budweiser, but higher quality malts, better mouthfeel. Wheat, yeasty and slight caramel. Finish of wheat and grains.

rodsquad (1806) - Aberdeen, SCOTLAND - NOV 10, 2023
UPDATED: NOV 10, 2023 Can from supermarket. Deep gold clear beer with a quickly vacated white head. Sweet grain maltiness on the nose. Medium body with a sharp, moderate sparkle. Dry finish with a dry grassy bitterness. A sweet malty style lager.

UPDATED: OCT 14, 2023 bottiglia 33 cl, schiuma bianca fine pannosa media persistenza, colore giallo/oro limpido, al naso cereali pane bianco leggero miele note erbacee, in bocca malto pale cerali pane bianco note erbacee, corpo leggero, carbonazione moderata, amaro moderato. Una Pilsener da manuale. Molto buona. c. Calendario dell’Avvento 2022 Kalea Aldi CH 14.10.23

biir (3772) - Hamburg, Hamburg, GERMANY - SEP 17, 2023
UPDATED: SEP 17, 2023 Bottle from Terno supermarket in Budweis not far from the brewery - stored in a extra fridge with no see through glass. Apparently 'bottled special for Budweis citizens', a non pasteurized version of the original Budweiser. Its a simple green glass bottle without labels, just a little neklace that gives some facts and the bottling date (mine was 10. August) and best before date (mine was 20. August). Clear golden color, white head. Some dough, hay, faint lemon. fresh and crisp, a great Budweiser.

Whats happening to Budweiser? What kind of crappy name is "B:Original" anyway? This used to be a perfect Lager, its still a good one, but somehow they’re on a downhill road.

dekris (1543) - Olkusz, POLAND - AUG 7, 2023
UPDATED: OCT 19, 2023 Wypite, krótka ocena bez szczegółowych wrażeń. Normalnie też można pić piwo bez zastanawiania ;)

WildMild (43) - Maryland, USA - JUL 9, 2023
UPDATED: JUL 9, 2023 Aroma - light malt with light spicy hop. Appearance - golden color with a considerable number of tiny bubbles. The head dissipates quickly but a white ring remains till the end and much of the surface has a lacy cover. Flavor - Malt with a tinge of honey at first, bitterness and spicy hop flavor then dominates, but dissipates fairly quickly in the aftertaste. This is a classic summer beer.

hoppybrewster (288) - - JUL 7, 2023
UPDATED: JUL 7, 2023 Clear pale gold; delicate white head; complex aroma of citrus, lemon, bread-rich malt, spice and a herbal hop-bouquet; bready maltiness, slight impression of caramel with a rounded spicy hoppiness at the finish; medium body; soft CO2; a diacetylic feel.

4.2
AllGrainTicks67 (1) - - JUN 22, 2023 does not count
UPDATED: JUN 22, 2023 The purest taste of beer you can possibly get. Has everything what it should and i doubt there someone who would say: i don't like it. Must know classic. The only downside of it is kind of lack of bitterness
