Purchased at Albert Hypermarket in Pilsen, Czech Republic, and drunk a week later at Freistaat Camping in Sulzmoos, on the last day in our campervan.

L: Murky, copper brown with a big, fluffy, creamy white head. No carbonation seen in the glass.

S: Dark, roasted and caramel malt.

T: Rich caramel malt with burnt toast residually and especially retronasally. Moderate bitterness.

M: Smooth, with low levels of carbonation.

O: The toasty bitterness really sets this one off. Very nice!

Cheers!

Nice, dark colour. Smells like a nice euro dark lager. Taste nicely malty and hoppy. Overall, it's a good semi-dark Czech lager, would definitely buy again .

Jantarovy Lezák - the way I heard in Prague it means "mixed" beer. In our case it stands for a really well-balanced mix of dark and pale pilsner.
As Czech pilsners (or rather lezák, as they call it) are usually quite mild and low on bitterness and carbonation, this mix also feels extremely smooth. The two different tastes create a quite interesting flavor with on the one hand a little strength in taste but on the other hand immediately light and drinkable.
I found this beer extremely enjoyable and drinkable. It is somehow typically Czech, I feel like being there as I am drinking it. Even though it is a mix, It is very well created to achieve a perfect balance - it is the best of both worlds. Recommend it!

quite an interesting taste of beer, but still lacks the richness of taste, seems to me a little bitterness in the taste, aftertaste and a very short, but the cons are not influenced my final grade !!!
