clear red-amber colour with a dense creamy head (widget effect), herbal and buttery notes, very soft mouthfeel, low carbonation, light-bodied, sweet with a light finishing bitterness, the finish is dry and slightly herbal - weak

What is this? A poor cereally thin lager is served with nitrogen gas, obviously a gimmick introduced by Bass, the new owners, to attempt to sell it as a "British" style beer. I'm not sure I've tasted anything this bad in Britain yet! Thick, syrupy yet thin and cereally. Horrible. (Can from Kiosk, Karlovy Vary)

Bottle from Hotel Berlin, Smichov, Prague. Darker colour - like bourben biscuits, and no head or lacing. Slight brown sugar aroma. Smooth and intense - like liqueur, but not a pleasant taste - metallic with a lengthy, tart bitterness. No Balance, just incessantly harsh and overpoweringly sweet.

Draught, canned: Very nice looking, with a huge creamy head due to the nitrogen.. Sweet aroma, but rather bland in both taste and aftertaste. A dissapointment.

From the Can. Nice look with a creamy, Guiness-like, head. But the taste! Very watery, and without flavour. I guess, the brewers should stick to brewing Pilsener.

A Czech ale? Hmmmm.... Pours an attractive foamy orange amber. A nice, creamy, white head settles on top. Despite looking like a bitter, the nose is almost pilsner-esque (albeit much milder) with a good dose of grassy hops. Very mild flavor with just a touch of hops in the finish. Milky mouthfeel with almost non-existent carbonation. Not my favorite Czech beer. Sort of watered-down pils crossed with a watered-down bitter.

The aroma is creamy, slightly sweet, and with notes of straw. The color is amber and it has a fine head. The flavor is very flowery, sweet malty, and rather hoppy though without being bitter. It ends on a slight prickling bitterness. A very smooth beer due to the nitrogen. I like the combination of English ale and Czech Pilsener.

Very smooth and velvety. But, unfortunately, very weak aroma and flavour. A very bad effort.
