Who knows which Pernstejn I have? Anyways, this one has a white label and declares itself as a czech premium lager.
Body: Slightly hazy, medium gold. 1/2" of head, many fine carbonation bubbles visible.
Smell. Tons of grassy malts, smells like your standard euro lager. Maybe a little doughiness.
Taste: Slightly metallic tang. Impressive hops kick for the style, rounds out the beer, enhancing the metallic flavor of the beer. Different, but now bad.
Mouthfeel: Maybe a little undercarbonated, it would probably make the malt seem crispier.
Drinkability. Right in the middle of the pack of Euro Pale Lagers.

Pumpkin-amber filled to bursting with fine yeast. The head is moderate in size, lemony dirty white in color and soft in consistency. The gently hummocked surface looks like melted syrofoam as it falls and leaves no more than a few lonely strands of lace. While the beer is more attractive than the head and lace, the total package is still only average overall.
It's a decent nose as EPLs go. There are no noxious, industrial odors, so that's a plus. It's lightly grainy, slightly hop spicy and relatively clean. Unfortunately, there isn't much to go on.
Who says that all Euro pale lagers taste the same? (Well, I have, for one). I don't recall one that tasted quite like Pernstejn Premium though. It has a bit more flavor than most; more malt and more herbal hoppiness. Any beer of this style that turns up the flavor knob, assuming of course that it doesn't taste like waste water, is ahead of the game.
Untoasted pale malt gives this lager a light sweetness and either the yeast or the hops provides the spicy fruit. The flavor just sort of gives up the ghost all sudden-like once the beer leaves the mouth. The light-medium mouthfeel lightens progressively throughout each mouthful and finishes bordering on frankly watery.
There's some confusion about two of the beers from this brewery that I think I've cleared up by reading the brewery's website. This beer is called 'Pernstejn Premium', is a Euro pale lager and has an ABV of 5.0%. There's also a 'Pernstejn Golden Lager' that's also a Euro pale lager and has an ABV of 5.2%. The BA listings seem to be a mishmash of the two profiles.
In any case, Pernstejn Premium isn't too bad as EPLs go, for all of the reasons noted above. I've had better, but I'd have to say that it's solidly in the upper half for the style; a classic case of damning with faint praise. Was it worth $1.99? Nope.

Almost amber color, absolutely not clean. Scarce foam, and no persistence.
In the smell: malt and biscuti, caramel. And some exotic fruit, and pineapple, too.
The taste: malt and biscuti, full, heavy. Not refreshing, and maybe just a point of solvent.
Nothing more than light in body.
Malt and biscuti again in the aftertaste. Too monotone.
Not thirst-quenching beer.
Bah.
