Louny Svetlý Ležák (Premium Gold Label) 12°

Brewed by Pivovar Louny (Heineken)
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Louny, Czech Republic

It’s warm golden with a white head. The aroma has notes of malt, fruit and flower. The flavour has a light, dry sweetness, notes of fruit, flower, malt, and the finish is dry.

Bottled(500ml). -Dark golden coloured, medium sized white head that went away fast, weak acidic hoppy and odd fruit cake nose. Very malty, light herbal and mild hoppy taste with notes of vegetables and apple. Quite odd but in a pleasant way.

0.5l bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado (thanks!)
Poured a darker golden-amber body with a medium-small thick white head. Lightly acidic hoppy nose, light maltiness. The taste is again lightly acidic. Fruity... apples I guess. Soft but kinda heavy maltiness, some dusty yeastiness. Not a typical Czech pils, kinda nice, but odd in a way.

500 ml bottle. Golden color, white head. Malty aroma with some peppery hops. Sweet malty flavor. Medium-high carbonation, pretty smooth overall. Not bad, but not spectacular.

Bottle from Tbone, thanks! Golden color. Grassy citric hoparoma and flavor. Touch of apple. Easy drinker, with a slightly medecinal aftertaste.

50 cL bottle, German version as Louny Lager Premium, 5.1%. Pours clear and golden yellow with a lacing white head. Sweet malty and slight herbal hoppy aroma. Smooth mouthfeel. Light acidic cornish yet dominantly sweet. Light caramel and solid sweet malty flavour lingering into the finish. Nice and smooth yet somewhat simple and vaguely metallic.

Bottle brown, 500 ml, 12 P
Appearance: Pours deep burned orange, deep amber colour, carbonation is visually soft. Head is madium, slowly decreasing but again has very intriguing burned, creamy, off - white hue.
Aroma: Burned toasty, bread compound with mild aroma of powder sugar, sweetness, some hints of fresh hoppyness mixed with oily maltyness, good quality, rounded aroma suggesting good pilsener.
Flavour: Sweet, some addition of sugar burned, toasty grains, toasty bread, syrupy, reminding beer with some extra addition of sugar and burned malted barley, oil background of hoppy freshness and bitterness in fact killed with sugar, though refreshing. The noticable hints of honey and milk. Very nice hoppy bitterness is stronger towards finish. Finish duration is average, a bit creamy&salty&bitter.
Palate: Body is light, texture is oily, smooth, easy going, carbonation on palate is flat, finish feel is accidic, a bit chalky and light alcoholic.

500ml bottle (alko)br Bronze, scummy head. Herby grassy aroma. Rich, very malty body, some weetabix, some slightly grassy hops, a little sweet and fruity perhaps. Plenty of noble hops in the finish - quite bitter, and still plenty of bready malt too. Full-bodied, and really not bad for a pale-ish lager at all.
