Vratislav Premium

Brewed by Staropramen Breweries (InBev)
Style: Pale Lager
Prague, Czech Republic

Bottle: Yelow clear colour, with flat head. Aroma of lots of malt and a thin tjekkian dry hpoy finish. Flavor is almost the same, thin body, short finish. That all.

Bottle. Golden colour with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of malt and hops.

Skunky aroma. Very clear yellow, thin disipitating head. Medium carb. Nice smooth sweet flavour, hint of nuts or something. I cant get to it but its sweet and strange. Kind of like the odd taste.

Bottle, Tesco. Quite dark for the style, a deep gold. Aroma of straw and sugary malt. To taste this is soft, sweet with very little hops and not an awful lot of character. Sweet aftertaste. It’s not bad as a pale lager, which is what I think it is stylewise because of the lack of hops.

500ml bottle which, in typical Tescos trend, very closely resembles the Budvar bottle! Golden colour, thin head. Very faint aroma. Hint of fruitiness, quickly taken over by overall bland impression, clinging, artificial finish. Price, at just £1 a bottle, is definitely somewhat of a balancing factor.

Bottle, 500ml. A small but lasting head. An aroma of malt after the initial pour (perhaps some fruit with a little imagination), but after a minute it’s gone. Light golden appearance. A nice hoppy, slightly bitter finish. Moderate carbonation. Not the best lager in the world, but certainly not the worst either.

Bottle, at home. Golden with a large white head. Aroma moderate malty and hoppy. Flavor moderate sweet and bitter. Light to medium body, soft carbonated.

Bottled from Tesco at £1 for 500ml you cannot really complain at that price as it’s certainly on a par with similar standard lagers of this type. light golden coloured, not much aroma, easy drinking, nothing special ok lager.
