Aggressively carbonated, well hopped Bohemian thanks to Jan Biergaman bringing back from the Czech Republic. Cheesy scent, sight of light colour and some head and lace and bubble. I wouldn't seek it out again yet gives me range of what's available in Europe.

Cask into Svijany pint glass in Berlin, Germany. Reviewed from notes.

A: Clear gold with one finger head of nice cream and surprisingly good retention for its ABV.

Sm: Fresh scent of barley and yeast.

T: Creamy open to well built body of barley. Very clean. Ought to be bolder, but excellent for a cask ale.

Mf: Smack-your-lips finish. Very heavy, but adequate for the style and ABV. Adequately coarse.

Dr: Hides its ABV well. Slides down a bit too easily. Careful with this one lads.

On-tap at Baráčnická Rychta, Prague, Czech Republic

A: The beer is crystal clear golden yellow in color and poured with a two finger high bright white head that slowly died down but never completely faded away. A light amount of carbonation is visible.
S: There are light to moderate aromas of bready malts in the nose.
T: Similar to the smell, the taste is very malty and has bready flavors along with some hints of corn.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
D: The beer has an average amount of drinkability--it isn't quite as crisp and refreshing compared to other pilsners.

Wow! What a difference there is between the bottled version of this beer and it's on tap version. I couldn't believe it was the same beer! The taste is slightly hoppy, with a thick, almost creamy but clear feel. There is also a hint of sweetness which adds nicely to the beer. A thick foam head lasts for much of the drinking and leaves a nice coating of foam trails along the sides of the glass. Delicious!

Poured from bottle, good head and clouded yellow in colour. A flat out putrid aroma. Next to nothing in the way of texture. Simply seems watered down. Mouthfeel is unoffensive - because goes unnoticed. Some flavour peaked as it warmed, but severely lacked both hop and malt character. I think overall it just lacked three of the four ingredients, you figure which one it had enough of.
