Stara Bohemia Premiumbier Hell

Brewed by Pivovar Klášter
Style: Pale Lager
Hradiště nad Jizerou, Czech Republic

(bottle) Golden coloured hue with loads of floaties and a big, slightly off-white foamy head. Sweet and dusty, nutty malt aroma with a tinge of butter and biscuits and very shy herbal hops in the background. Light-sweet flavour, nutty malty taste with a light chemical note; light to medium bodied, soft on carbon; sweet-bitter, slightly nutty finish with a very light hops-character. Pretty bland brew (05.02.08).

Bottle. [Tasting session @ Papsoe] Small fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Spare display of lacework. Clear pale golden color. Aroma of dusty grain, butter, toffee. Mild grass and floral notes. Medium bodied with a soft carbonation and light dry texture. Moderated sweet and bitter flavour. Light dry and bitter finish.

A light foam, the colour is somewhere between gold and amber. The aroma and flavor are surprisingly full for a cheap beer like this. Although it’s not actually bohemian, it’s very drinkable.

Clear golden with tiny white with short lasting head. Sweet aroma with butter notes. Sweet malty flavour witho caramel and butter notes. Finished sweet.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a fully gone head. Dry malty and slight cornish aroma. Medium sweet malty with a light caramel malt note. Light bitterness coming through into the finish.

Bottle: Golden coloured, big fluffy, slowly collapsing, white head, floaties visible, "chemical" nose with traces of nuts and vanilla; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, very small malty base, light to medium bodied; rather light and short bitter-sweet finish. Disappointing and by no means a "Bohemian" Bier..........

bottle, bought in Dresden. Looks good. Watery start, malty in the middle, also hoppy. Tastes nearly like 10° vycepni pivo, but it is a 12°.

Bottle. Deep clear golden, almost amber, no head. Spicy malty nose with a touch of adjunct. Sweet malty taste, a little artificial, no bitterness save for a whisp in the outro, medium-soft water, thin, no hoppiness. Not bad, but really boring. It’s cheap beer, filled specifically for the market in eastern Germany, and certainly no Bohemian Pils.
