Purchased at the LCBO for just under $3.00 for a 500ml can. Served at 4deg C in a draught glass

A- Opens well and pours a good white head that is gone in less than 1min. Dark gold and clear.

S- Fair amount of hops here. Nice malt backbone. Other than that that's all yolks.

T- Pretty good malty backbone. Fairing good wet hopping.

M- A touch dry but all the components are there.

O- Pretty good out of the blue beer. Will not turn it down versus other beers out there as there are worse.

Food Pairing

This nice little beer went well with....... slightly seasoned dry roasted peanuts.

Enjoy

To be honest the bottle says that this is brewed in Romania by Ursus, so I guess it's not really Czech. But the Polish brewed Kozel I had , was amazing.

Great appearance in my glass.

Beautiful ascending aroma...

Taste is not as good as the Polish version...a bit too sweet and there is some fizziness. But hops are good and this is probably one of the best value beers in Eastern Europe, for sure, in terms of brands.

Impressive mouth feel, for a bottle.

This is certainly almost premium, but not quite.

I'm keen to try the Czech version...if it exists ; ) A few extra overall points for value, this must always be considered...

On tap in a beach bar in Jurmala, Latvia. Golden colour, moderate head. Distinctly malty aroma and flavour with notes of butterscotch (diacetyl). Moderate hops in the finish.
