Oct 14, 2005 Updated: Dec 19, 2008(Bottle 50 cl) Comes as "Herold Bohemian Golden Lager". Fully golden, almost amber, with a small, creamy head. Very malty aroma. Fat, malty body with some rather unusual (for a lager) notes of overripe fruit and perhaps even Sherry - with a touch of nuts and a hint of smoke. Definitely not your typical pilsener profile! Rather distinct, dry bitter finish. Interesting. 111005 and 131108

Sep 10, 2005 Believe I had this as "Herold Pils" at Brickskeller, Wash DC, 9/2/05: Clear yellow with a big airy head. Biscuity at first, but flowers out with a nice floral saaz hop sting. Great.

Aug 28, 2005 Golden appearance that offered more than it delivered. Pleasant but rather mundane.Not so distinctive as some Czech pils.

Aug 27, 2005 Sampler from bottle at <a href=http://ratebeer.com/Place/illinois/orland-par Orland Parh, Bright golden color. A dry pils malt taste, balanced by a slightly spicy hop character. Still suffers from having to travel all the way to the States, but a nice, smooth iteration of the style.

Aug 1, 2005 Herold Zamek Breznice, 5% ABV. Clear brass-colored body with low carbonation and a fairly sudsy white head. Aroma of mild butterscotch, light toasted malt, and pineapple. Nice richness for a lager with good malt depth. Moderately hoppy, pleasantly sweet, lightly tart, and clean. Has notes of cooked apples and spice. Nice, balanced summer drinker.

Jul 6, 2005 A bit darker than expected as it was a medium to deep gold, whereas urquell and czechvar are a very pale gold. Pretty good head and some lace. Aroma is a moderatley hoppy- some faded saaz and some stale malts. This one is perhaps not as fresh as it could be. Almost has a slight skunky aroma and a bit of DMS. Flavor is more towards the malty side, but it is not like a good bready pure pils malt- more of a stale metallic malt. Mouthfeel is nice due to moderate carbonation and a nice body, but the slight age hurts this beer. Finishes dry and crisp though. I would consider this as more of a pale lager then a true czech pils.

Jun 27, 2005 (bottle) Deep golden colour with a medium creamy white head. Floral hoppy nose with traces of malts and honey. Breadish malty taste with a nice bitter and hoppy finish. The aroma was actually more promising than the finish.

Jun 26, 2005 On tap at U Zpevacku in Prague. Deep yellow gold color and a thin white head. Round flavor, with grassy malts up front but ending bitter. Take it over the 10 degree any day.
