Pardál Echt Světlý Ležák 11°

Bottle from the brewery shop in České Budějovice. A brief offwhite head upon a bright, dark gold colored body. Aroma is on the dry side, light bready with a good amount of dusty, grassy and herbal hops. Taste is dry malty, or maybe grainy. Generously hopped, grass, spices, pepper and some earth tones. Slick mouthfeel. Grainy, hop bitter finish. A pretty good one.

Lahev (Diky, Quack-Ducku!):Deep golden, firm creamy white head; moderate to solid grassy and a bit herbal hoppy nose; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied with a light malty background; bitter and pale-malty finish. Good czech quality..........

Bottled. Brass color, some grass in the nose. Sweet malt, herbs, peppermint. Fine bitterness in the tail. A bit too herbal for my taste.

Bottled 500ml. -Courtesy of and shared with Doggythedog (thanks!)
Golden coloured, medium sized white head, notes of cardboard in the nose. Lively carbonation. Cardboard, sweet water and some minimal hops with bitterish finish. Boring and weak. 4.2%

Bottle purchased at the Albert hypermarket in Chodov, Prague
Poured a nice full golden body with nice lively carbonation and a fluffy thick chalky white head, lovely! Slightly sweetish cardboard nose. Light cardboard in the taste too, the nice carbonation from the look turns mean in the mouth, a bit too much. Ordinary hop bitterness near the end. Seeing these positive reviews and knowing my senses weren’t in optimal condition, I’ll be rerating this.

Bottle green, 500 ml, 11.3 P, got it in Trinec, Czech zrepublic.
Appearance: Pours beautiful dark golden to orangy, perfectly clear and well saturated body, head is white in colour, initially big, slowly decreasing to moderate, frothy in texture, leaving somw lacing.
Aroma: Very nice top of herbal and leavy and even slightly spicy hops of Saaz origin, very nice hoppy profile being very strong and refreshing, notes of citruses, lemon and some orange, lemon seeds, nice dusty chalkyness at the background covering mature malty sweetness, very noble aroma impressions suggesting well drinkable and good quality Bohemian Pilsener.
Flavour: Nice and clean, quite roughly bitter front with pronounced citric especially lemon and grapefruit seeds, very refreshing, soft, easy going, highly drinkable, clean notes of malty sweetness becoming very well present just imediately after the back-tongue bitterness, finish duration is quite long and pleasant.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is dry, carbonation on palate is quite lively, finish feel is moderately astringent with a complex simultaneously bitter and sweet palate, nice chalkyness, very clean finish, really good Pilsener, typical for its style.

0,5l bottle. Looks like your average lager but has a surprisingly roasted and bitter taste to it. I liked it.

bottle, Albert Praha-Nové Butovice. Clear deep goden colour, mid-sized white head. Hoppy nose. Medium-bodied, slid malty background with lots of Saaz hops. Bitter-sweet. A very nice beer that seems to have more Bohemian character than Budvar.
