Brewed by Pivovar Rakovnik
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Rakovnik, Czech Republic

Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are malt, straw and a decent amount of hops. Nice bitter finish.

This is a very good Czech pilsner, light but with plenty of character and balance. Gold with a medium white head steadily shrinking to a thin, foamy top, it leaves hints of weak lace. The aroma, very Czech, is strong grain, lemon, herbs, with bread crust and mineral. The taste is, very fresh, airy and crisp with strong, zesty herbal character. Faintly minty, it has lemon rind over toasted grain. It is aromatic and a light sweetness underlies a persistent, just dominant, aromatic herbal bitterness that lingers. It is is light but zesty and lively.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a transparent typically carbonated light orange colored body and a thick foamy lacing. The aroma was astringent and lagerish. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the semi-flat start and at the mild finish. The flavor contained notes of malt and mild tingly hops. Not one that I would buy again.

Bottle from Keg Liquor. Poured a clear amber color with a large frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate grass hop aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation. Medium grassy sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Soft drinkable brew.

Pours light golden with a thin but resilient head. Aroma of spicy Saaz, bready lager yeast and sweet malt. Taste has notes of crisp herbal hops and sweet Medium bodied with light hop resins and lively carbonation.

Bottle. Medium high fluffy white head. Clear amber body. Malty aroma with caramel and grassy notes. Flavor of barley malt, caramel and lemon with a fair amount of hops bitterness. Low carbonation. Short aftertaste.

1 pint 0.9 oz bottle: Aroma is skunky hops, some malts in there but mostly the Saaz hops characteristic, and a little grassy. Appearance is a golden pour with a fluffy white head. Taste consists of light malts, somewhat of a hop note with that same skunky flavor. Overall, It’s decent beer nothing special but I It won’t kill me to drink it. Cheers!

Bottle. Frothy white fair mostly deminishing head. Dark yellow colour. Light malty and hoppy aroma. Almost no flavor. Not very refreshing. Short bitter finish. Waetry palate. Very boring beer. More like a vienna than Boh. pilsner.
