Poured from the tap. Slightly hazy gold with off white head. Pilsner malt with fairly herbal hop notes. Decent, though the herbal bitterness lingers a bit too long.

Tap at the original Nalévarna, of course, rating in the rain... damn. Hazy golden body, off white head. Creamy, buttery, malty aroma, light herbal notes. Lean, bitterish taste, herbal, nice, a bit flat but smooth. Somewhat limp, might be getting in age? Not sure, but while an okay lager, not en par with their other stuff this time, let alone the fantastic fresh hop 13% I'd had a year and a half ago. Thankfully, the 12° I'd had after it was in very good shape and form.

draught at Kulovy Blesk Praha in 2017, canned from Nalevarna Soukenicka Praha, in 2023. Clear golden with a tall white head. Medium-bodied, grainy malty base, hints of wet cellar, with some good aromatic hops, pleasantly bitter finish. Superb.
