Going to do the Jekyll Hyde thing here. What the bloody hell happens to these Czech beers once they hit our shores??? Tasted in the CR on draught this was one of the most stunning beers I’ve had the pleasure of tasting. Get a bottle of it here in Australia and the ravages of time, shipping and who knows what else has emasculated it somewhat. In the CR it has a beautiful fresh malt background, stunning straw/gold colour and redoubtable citric, lemony hop aroma that makes you want just inhale in the glass all day. Hey Czechs send us Aussies the "actual" beers you drink yourselves ;-) My score was derived purely through nostalgia and my tasting notes from the Czech Republic and not the poor imitator I just drank here in Melbourne.

Pretty easy to drink. But probably the thinnest Czeck lager/pils, in terms of flavour, i've ever had. Pretty easy to drink, but at least theres some light lemony flowery saaz, but its very faint.

Medium gold clear under a small short lasting off white head. Lightly skunked faint metallic herbal woody hops aroma. Medium light low carb body. Medium grassy stalish hoppy start with hint of soft grainy malt flavours. Light bland bitter finish and slightly stronger bitter aftertaste. Less Czech and more macro in character than most of its compatriate beers.

Clear yellow amber, thick malted barley aroma with a good bit of sugar that mixes well with the light hops. Chewy, sugary cotton candy flavour with sweet malts and a very mild hop finish, impressed me with the subtle malts that compliment the fresh hops.

Straight from best source . Krusovice pub in Prague . Great waeather , ideal for fresh pils . That day this pils was Krusovice 12-stka . Light gold , with bright white head . Similar a bit to polish lighter lagers . Malty , not much alcohol in aroma . Malty, extremly refreshing, simple but very well made. Superb drink ability

Ok. It's better than Budvar, but nothing special here. There's a million better beers to have in Czech.

It was draught, it was fresh, it was tasted in Prague and it was one of the worst Czech beers I've ever tasted. No hops and no character.

Golden color, nice head, decent appearance. But there isn´t much beyond. First full malty, finishes then unpleasantly bitter. Long bitter aftertaste. Dissappointing.
