Boy, it’s been ages since I first (and last) had a Starobrno. It was in Brno, the Czech Rep and I was buying it in 1.5 quart PET bottles at a local Tesco. The good times!
And even now it didn’t let me down. Nice hoppy, slightly fruity overtone with some hop bitterness following. A Moravian beer is still a Czech beer you might say but it is quite different from the Bohemian lezáks or the Pilsener ones, interesting! Will buy it again, was only 99 cents for such a decent beer.

From the tap with fine white foam and a amber colored body. Much darker than most Lager. This shows also on a more expressed malt character. Ever so slightly Diacetyl for a fuller mouthfeel. Smooth drinkable but also a bit unexpressef on the hops

For a relatively hoppy lager, this one held a full inch of head like a champ. Had plenty of skunkiness, but not necessarily a negative, you know what you're getting into when you have a Eurolager.
Lots of bitterness and carbonation, stays light. Dry, at times bitter. I dig it as a hot weather beer. A worthy beer that has a place in hot weather.

A yellow color beer of the darker variety. The head is virgin white, a nice touch. Its about 1" deep. Good retention, average lacing. Mild skunkiness in the aroma, zesty hop presence, this is what I'm looking for in a czech pilsner, skunkiness is not always a flaw, and I think it works well here.
Taste has a light body with ample bitterness. Carbonation is high, as should be for style. Plenty grassy in the taste and mouthfeel throughout the entire drinking experience. This used to be a lesser version of Pilsner Urquell for me, but it seems in recent history, they have pulled about even. Used to see this at Trader Joe's, it seems to have gotten more difficult to locate in the states in recent years. Finishes a little dry, metallic bittery, floral.
The mustiness within the beer is kind of cool.
Light but flavorful be thy name. Isn't going to change the way you think about pilsners, but it is a good experience in the warmer months.
