Starobrno Czech Premium Lager 3,5
Pivovar Starbrno, A.S.

 

 

 

 

I brought a can to Starobrno 3.5 Premium Lager home from a recent trip to Europe. The beer poured a golden yellow color with an initial thick white head that disappeared....and there was no lacing. The smell was of grain/barley with modest hop. The taste was dominated grain and barley. MOuthfeel was light with dissapating carbontation. This beer falls in line with most macro american beers. Overall it is a standard type beer.

This is Starobrno's low alchohol lager brewed especially for the Swedish market. These kind of beers can be sold at the supermarket as opposed to the normal version. It poured with a finger of quickly disappearing foam and in a golden yellow color. The smell was of flowery hops, bread, citrus and black pepper. The taste was dominated by bread notes and some sourness. Considering the mutilation it was not all that bad. But without enough alcohol it kind of lacks a body. Still, it beats most of the low alcohol lagers on sale in Sweden.
