Staropramen Ležák (Premium Lager) 12°

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

A non-existant head and a solid orange-brown coloring with a slighty "off" boozy aroma but sweet and honey-like flavor. Like most Czech beers, would be optimal alongside food such as sausages, potatoes, and braised vegetables.

Bottle... wasn’t a bad experience, but it did not stand out in any way. I would not buy this beer again.

11.2 Oz. bottle. Pours golden with a white head. A decent taste, mostly a earthy sweet malt, with a bitter finish. Pretty good.

Clear gold with too small a head for a pilsener. The aroma is too weak, with a faint trace of Saaz. Medium body. Sweet and malty on the palate dissappearing very quickly to a dry hoppy finish. Overall it simply suffers from a lack of flavour.

Bottle. Creates a massive white head, with a careless aggressive pour. Malt aroma, and not much else. A little skunked from the green bottle. That’s a little disappointing.

330ml bottle. Shaker glass. Golden with a medium head. Aroma -- malt, grain and some floral hops. It started out crisp with some light malt and a touch of bitterness. I thought it was comparable to Pilsner Urquell, but about mid-bottle a very floral and perfumed taste becamse apparent and I found this a little off-putting.

See-thru amber pour with odd tiny bubbles...large sudsy white head. Very distinct bread aroma, like a dinner roll. First flavor is of carmal/malt followed by bitter floral hops. Finishes sweet. palate is sticky. Almost like an english lager with a pilsner? Get both the bitter hops & some sweet malt.
