Aug 13, 2009 Grassy aroma. Pale amber, little head. Sweetish, strong grassy hop flavour, not much malt detectable. Medium bodied, somewhat overcarbonated. Finishes bready with some bitter notes. Not all bad, but not the best Czech lager I’ve tried.

Aug 8, 2009 Bottled as "Czech Premium Lager" from Co-op (BB 07/2010, at Chriso).
Golden color, small white head. Sweet corn and grassy aroma. Woody, a bit buttery flavor, sweet finish. Clean, but quite industrial.

Mar 26, 2009 You guys are all on drugs. My fellow tasters my have chastised this Czech Pils,but personally I found this to be a fine lager.More close to Bittburger than Urquel. Its because of how bready it is. I like that.Hops are leafty and spicy. Some honey and graininess. Pretty flavoursome

Jan 11, 2009 500ml bottle at Chris o New Year tasting 08/09. Clear gold, thin white head. Bit of yeast on aroma. OK pils, not particularly interesting, but no real off flavours.

Jan 2, 2009 Updated: Aug 8, 2009500ml bottle from Waitrose. Best before June 2009. Mid gold colour. Not much head. Some biscuity malt throughout. Touch of cardboard in the aroma. Not much hop character in evidence. So-so. I agree with bhensonb that this did seemed rather different to the Staropramen 12 (better). Perhaps the same as the Vratislav available in Tesco but who knows.
