Staropramen Ležák (Premium Lager) 12°

Brewed by Staropramen Breweries (InBev)
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Prague, Czech Republic

Draught, Dublin. Decent faint golden appearance, and respectably durable head. Honey and citrus on the nose, and decent round mouthfeel, with good yeast-hop balance.

canette de 500ml, je n’ai pas été impressionné par cette pilsener, je m’attendais à plus, rien de plus qu’une classique pale lager, pale de couleur et de goût,

Pours golden with a medium white head. Taste is pale malt, not a whole lot of hops for a pils, but there is a small crispness from the hops. Nothing special.

Bottle (the cask in the UK is unreliable). Dark golden colour (some roasted malt in there?) with a thin white head. Crisp malty aroma. Initially sweet, there’s a decent hoppiness to balance the malt and a dry finish. Nice and light on the palate. Loses a couple of points on taste as it should have a little more bitterness. Fine beer, but there are better Czech pilsners out there.

On tap @ O2 arena in Prague. Another basic but drinkable pale colored yellow beer with light malt sweetness. Crisp & clean. Last rating from central Europe trip. Give me hops

12 oz. Burnt orange-golden with a crunchy one-inch head that lasts and leaves beautiful lace. Aroma of spiced honey, corn tortilla, and lemon. Tastes of spicy honey, lemon-apple, and earthy grain on the front are balanced by a spicy corn and grass finish. Light-medium body is smooth and balanced with a nice crisp finish. Had this on draft once before and didn’t care for it as much.

Pale amber lager. Slightly stale start with low carbonation but with some gentle middle and pleasing hoppy finish. Nice.

One of the better czech pilsners that I have had. Clean and crisp with not too much of that lingering taste you usully get wth baltic beers.
