Bohemia Regent Světlý Ležák 12°

Brewed by Bohemia Regent
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Trebon, Czech Republic

(Bottle 0,5l) Malty and a bit weird aroma. Clear golden color. Minimal white head. Unpleasant fizzy. Light bitter-sweet. Light bitter end. A bit disappointment, I remember it was better beer. (Maybe really bad batch... I will try it later, hope it will be better.)

Bottled 500ml. -Courtesy of and shared with Doggythedog (thanks!)
Dark golden coloured, almost no head, grainy honey nose. Malty, grainy, caramel/honey and some hops with notes of coffee in the finish. Infected bottle??? Probably.

Bottle purchased at some potraviny in Telč, shared with ogivlado. Poured a dark ochre/golden colour with no head. Light grainy nose, some honey too. Grainy honeyish taste, not too great, a bit hoppy near the end, bit stale and might be off, not being too special to begin with.... hmmm.... now I read sirPino’s rate and I wonder if the brewery decided to market a stunningly bad batch. I thought it might’ve gone bad at the store but this two bottles showing similar bad effect purchased at different places at roughly the same time.... probably didn’t. Will rerate it (gave it slightly higher notes while rating it in my book so it’s slightly overrated here) once but still shame on the brewery for putting such an obviously bad batch into circulation.

Bottle brown, 500 ml, 12 P, got it in Trinec, Czech Republic.
Appearance: Pours unhealthy hazy orangy golden, dull and dead body without carbonation, head is greyish white, drothy, no lacing, initially small, rapidly decreasing to minimal, looks like macro sud.
Aroma: Some stale and old sweaty socks, however, to my relief very weak, practically nothing, total disappointment and failur.
Flavour: Old sweaty socks, very stale and dead body of the beer, no noble hoppyness, no nice malty base sweetness instead you’ve got some harsh artificial sweetener leaving nasty nad parched aftertaste, a total failure pretending to be a noble micro product, finish duration is short.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is watery, carbonation on palate is flat, finish feel is flat, dull with unpleasant, flat, dull aftertaste, very boring beer, pointless, the failure of the year and to my surprise and disappointment against the grain.

Bottle 50cl. @ home.
Clear medium yellow orange color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, toasted, butter notes, moderate hoppy, citrus, capers notes. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. [20090721]

RBESG Sheffield 2009, day 3, The New Oxford, Manchester. Tap. thought I had tried it before, but glad i took some sips since I hadn’t ! Malty with grassy hops. Quite light for a pilsner but refreshing and enjoyable nevertheless .
