On tap in a 0.4l Willi Becher glass with the logo on it.
Artificial strawberry nose, warm compote.
Very light, very dry. Arrival of artificial banana. Herbal notes that are hard to pin down, whatever is in Jägermeister, perhaps ginseng? Also thyme and oversteeped brown tea.
Tastes like vacation, pairs fantasticly with fries.

500mL bottle marked L1351(I was hoping Dec 2021, but it must have been stored at a very high temperature to be this degraded) labeled as Světlý Ležák 11° (I think it's a match) poured into a becher glass at fridge temp 4.8% ABV per label. The beer pours hefe-hazy light amber in color with a ton of floaties left in the bottle on a careful pour. Light khaki head that recedes to a thin ring and island leaving a few spots of lacing. The aroma is mild with sweet, bready malt and hints of grass also. The taste is malty and grassy with slight oxidation. Minimal bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with just less than average carbonation and a semi dry finish. Cleanly lagered. Overall, first pour is good. Chunky second pour is going to the compost. Age and room temperature storage have definitely impacted this beer. Would try again if fresh or on draft.

A fine Czech pilsner ! There is a little sweetness but not too much. Low hoppiness, low carbonation. Quite easy to drink. There is really nothing wrong about this. Given the style though, there is nothing to write home about either.

Pours into a becker a dull medium golden with a one and a finger tight white head atop,a great head to this lager.Grainy and lightly toasted in the nose,light sweetness squeaks thru as well.Crushed grain and cereal-like toast and sweetness on the palate,very crushable in its drinkability,has a bit of a raw element to it wich I kinda like.I don't get to many Czech lagers in my my face,glad to try this one.

Gorgeous pour...BEER! Nose isn't particulary strong, but nice pilsner malt, grainy aroma. No skunk. Taste follows in a pleasant, predictable way. Subtle hop in the finish. More than a decent pils.

A: Pours a clear medium to dark yellow in color with slightly heavier than moderate amounts of carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate medium golden yellow colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall sudsy foamy off-white head that slowly reduces to couple of small patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate aromas of bready + grainy malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness as well as light aromas of grassy hops. Hints of skunkiness.
T: Upfront there a moderate flavor of bready + grainy malts with a light amount of grainy sweetness. That is followed by a light flavor of grassy hops which impart a light amount of lingering bitterness.
M: Slightly heavier than light bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly crisp upfront.
O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol. While I enjoying a good Bohemian Pilsener as the next person, there was just nothing about this one that stood out - decidedly average.

Pours fine with brightness on an amber body and a white head that fell a little quickly. Nose on this one is peppery with hop and has a soft earthen malt with a hint of sweetness on it.It also shows me a touch of butter. Taste is not so good with a bit of astringency . Some bitter leaks out over the malt sweetness fora terrible finish that does contain diacetyl. Terrible compared to the 14 degrees I just had.

Pours a clear, gold color. 1/3 inch head of a white color. Great retention and great lacing. Smells of strong pale malt, strong euro yeast, hint of hop, and adjunct. Fits the style of a Czech Pilsner. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of strong pale malt, strong euro yeast, hint of hop, and adjunct. Overall, good appearance, decent aroma and body, but about average at best.

Golden body with a small white collar. Aromas of bready malts, grain. Simple flavor. Mild in aroma and taste. Light in body and easy to drink, though a tad sweet.

Poured from the bottle into a pokal glass.
Crystal clear with a gold to bronze colored body. Lots cola and fast rising soda like carbonation. Head is a creamy two fingers and bleach white on the pour with a little bit of sheet like lacing.
Cereal like aroma slightly. Some faint caramel light airy toffee notes as well. Clean smelling and very light and slightly wet sensing. Not bad, but not much going on here.
Interesting palate. Very light but with a sense of almost muted mint like flavors and thin bread. Not particularly crisp but with a noticeable dull and odd body. Next to no malt density strangely, wonder if it's by design.
A real interesting take on a pils but it doesn't come off as something particularly impressive or would desire to have again.
