Old Prague Bohemian Premium Lager
Old Prague

 

Pours golden, A dark taste for a lager, more flavor notes than you would expect. Well balanced lager, with darker wheat notes, not as easy to drink, but more flavor than anticipated

Presentation: 500 milliliter bottle poured into a pint glass. Purchased from Total Wine & More.

Look: bright golden color. Relatively large, frothy head that lingers.

Smell: sweet maltiness, straw, grains, bread. Faint hops aroma. The smell is pleasant overall.

Taste: maltiness, grains, straw, bread. Faint grassy flavor. Crisp hops aftertaste. The flavors are well balanced.

Feel: bubbly and creamy mouthfeel. Moderate to high carbonation.

Overall: this is a good beer. It tastes like how you would expect a Czech pilsner to taste. It has foul flavors or aromas. Definitely worth trying if you enjoy this style of beer.

 

L-Kicked up a nice head.
S- light bread smell
T- light, complex, crisp
F- light, nice carbonation
O- the beer needs to open up so let it warm up.

Poured from the can into a Libby style pilsner glass.

Bright body with excellent clarity, with a big shiny brass gold color, and light reams of linear fine carbonation. Head creation is a big easy three fingers of bright white foam, settling slowly to a finger tall puck, with a hair of lacing. Great looking brew.

Aroma has wonderful toasty grains, with a light malt and minimal sensing sweetness. Comes out exceptionally clean with almost a mineral like aroma.

Palate hits a nice place. Chewy and full rich body for mouthfeel, with a dense sense of flavor but a light texture. Clean classic lager finish with bread and minimal honey notes. Mineral rocky flavors and light touches of bitter hop to really make sure the sweetness doesn't go overboard.

Delicious tasting lager, would have this again any day on a regular basis.

Never came across this before, if it's anywhere close to Urquell, then it will be amazing.

Strong aroma upon opening. Though looks little thin in the glass, not much head either. But hop aroma is impressive.

Bursting with flavour initially. But a little thin and watery. Tastes like it has been commercially produced and pasteurized a bit too long. Prominent flavours include citrus peel and particularly grapefruit. Some saaz hops bitterness happening. Would taste a lot better on draft for sure.

Better than a typical beer for sure. Great value. But it doesn't feel as alive as a usual typical German or Czech pilsner.

 

500 ml. can from Total Wine canned about 4 months ago and poured into a pint glass. The pour is deep straw with a hint of haze and offers up a decent cap of white foam.

Nose of pils malt and a hint of lemony hops. Taste follows in the 'light pilsener' concept with a crackery grain flavor and a bit of citric note on the finish. Warming adds a bit of flowery spice to the aroma and yields a light sweetness on the tongue. Feel is balanced throughout yet without standing out either. Overall an easy quaff with enough to be interesting yet not enough to stay interested. Hmmm.

Appearance: Clear pale gold, large white head, good lacing.
Aroma: Subtle. Grainy. Bready. Moderately sweet.
Taste: Malt focused. Hops on the spicy, floral side add some balance. Clean aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Good carbonation. Medium bodied. Nicely balanced.
Overall: Tasty and refreshing
