500ml bottle from Prague Tesco. Very cheap - 11p. Watery lager - buttery flavour, metallic carbonation, faint washed out second hand hops. This is what cheap lager tastes like - one step up from water. The bottle would have cost more to produce than the beer.

Jul 29, 2008 Bottled, 500ml, pasteurised from Tesco, Plzen. Yellow to gold with white head. Oh my word, this is a terrible beer, it tastes, if thats the word, of cardboard, cabbage and boiled rice, in fact it tastes like the marketeers at Broumov-Olivetin have tried to copy Budweiser and the Brewer went out and bought the wrong one. That was the American one you idiot. Absolute rubbish, I hope Tesco are proud of this.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottled(500ml). –Pale golden coloured, medium sized white head that went away fast, stale grainy nose. Grainy, vegetable and cardboard taste with notes of seaweeds. I just don’t know who has thought of making such a beer, more the less in Czech Republic, where you can find hundreds of bohemian pils. By far the worst beer I had and have brought from Plzen.

Less than 10Kc bottle from Tesco. Clear golden color, small white head, some lace. Aroma of boiled vegetables, grassy hops, paper and diacetyl. Very cardboardish, cheap hoppy flavor. Some diacetyl also in the flavor. Metallic finish and long harsh aftertaste. Cheap Supermarket beer.

Jul 17, 2008 Ogi got this at a big Tesco near Plzen. Full gold colour, small white head that went away fast. Stale grainy honeyish nose, distinct notes of shellfish (!?) and weak banana. What the... More of the same in the taste, yes, shellfish. Only light (yay?). Ok, am I crazy or is this alcohol I’m tasting?! Whatever it is, it’s not nice. Hop? Traces maybe, if that. Some carbonation bite. Sweetish, odd, useless. Not worth even that price and not a Bohemian Pilsener.
