29/10 A 0.33 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured golden body with slightly off white head. Sweetish flowery malty aroma, slight touch of herbal hops. Flavor is slightly sweet, honey malty, also may be slightly sour in corny way. Medium bodied with shorter bittersweet finish it’s typically boring pale lager. Nowhere around Pilseners.

Gold, rather loose white head. Cereal malts and some floral hop aroma. Thin body, little bitterness. Possibly a bit stale. Poor for the style.

Bit bourring for my taste, smells of hay, pours a light bronze colour with thin head which soon goes. tastes a little sweet, malts and hops but nothing exciting, medium fizz, easy to drink but wouldnt get it again.

Bottle, pours crystal clear with a thin whispy off-white head that leaves no lacing. Aroma is grassy, with a sweet malt character. Quite dry, grassy and a bit spicy. Lively carbonation. Probably the trip to the US but seems a little stale and unlively.

Bought at some Žabka "potraviny" tumbling down from the Prague fortress (and Strahov). A gusher with a golden body. Malty nose with notes of apricot jam. Light apricot jam in the taste again, some late bitterness. Ok nuff and drinkable.

Poured from a bottle. Banana, hops, and yeast on the nose, light in the glass with a malty finish. Great session beer if it wasn’t so darn expensive in the US. Overall impression was knocked down because of price, but is a good beer.

Bottle. Poured pale yellow in color with a big white foamy head. The aroma is super grassy, slightly astringent. Flavor is too heavy on grassy hops without any noticable malt. The finish was dry and crisp.

Bottle. Pours a pale yellow with a large white head that laces a little on my glass. Aroma is faint. Hints of wet straw and pale malt. The taste is as thin as the nose lets on. Very watery. Sweet pale malt and a hint of oily saaz hops. Mouth feel is quite dead. Meh.
