Staropramen Velvet

Brewed by Staropramen Breweries (InBev)
Style: Irish Ale
Prague, Czech Republic

Nitrogen can. Czech beer that looks and tastes like fine British ones. Great, great look - amber colour, very thick and creamy head. Rich aroma - creamy, fruits, hops, little bitterness, no alcohol notes. Very smooth and very, very good; how is it possible that such a gem has an overall rating only slightly higher than some Heineken stuff?

This is one of the Czech beer that I drank, which is not a pilsner and I was surprised in the positive way. Our Czech friends will never make special beers like us Belgians, but this one is very drinkable

Draught
Copper brown color, decent creamy white head. Aroma has fruity hops, menthol and pear. Velvety, sweetish malty, earthy, mouldy oakyness.

(Nitrogen can) Amber coloured with a creamy head. The aroma was hard to get hold of. The flavour was burnt rubber and dry, roasty malt. Some bitterness on the finish.

On draught at the brewery tap in Prague: Light amber coloured, white, firm froth, lacing, light malty nose, not too aromatic bitter sweet taste, very light bitter malty ending........very average brew, but not unpleasant......

Amber and has a creamy white head. A grassy aroma and taste. Low carbonation. Smooth mouthful.

Bottle, in Prague. Light brown with off-white head, fully gone, ok lacings. Aroma light malty and hoppy. Flavor light sweet, light/moderate bitter, long duration. Watery, light body, soft carbonated.

On tap at PopoCafePetl, Prague. What’s this, nitro-infused Irish ale? Red bitter? Actually, just bland. Malty nose and very light hoppy flavor, but nearly everything is covered by the nitrous. Feels nice going down, and that’s about it.
