This pilsner/lager???? poured a amber colour with a yeasty spore head. Scents include a hint of orange citrus with almost a spiced corn scent. Slightly metallic odour. Initial taste was a little yeasty and sour with a bitter finish. Palate had a lingering bitter aftertaste that wasn't too bad. Nothing special.

Bottled (label says: "Original" instead of Svetly)
Big white foamy head. Typical golden lager colour. Mildly hoppy and metallic aroma. Sweet fruity but watery taste. For sure, I like Cerny more. (5/3/5/3/10 2.6)
Re-rated, can (label: Svetly, BB 02/2005)
Lager outlook. Metallic, bitter and a bit fruity aroma. Fruity malty body, more like "a normal" pale lager than plsener. (4/2/5/3/10 2.4)

Draught
One of my alltime favourites in the pub. Perfect dark brown colour with good head. Taste is easily drinkable malty and sweet vanishing with the pleasure at the end. (7/5/8/5/18 4.3)
Re-rate, bottled (BB 11/2004)
Dark ruby, espresso head. Roasted malt, dark chocolate aroma. Medium-bodied, sweet and roasted palate with late carbonation. Some hoppy bitterness in oily aftertaste as well as the notes of toffee. (6/5/7/3/15 3.6)
Re-rated, can (BB 01/2006)
Dark ruby, nice tanned head. Caramelly and grassy nose. Easy to drink, sweetish with light hops. (6/4/7/4/14 3.5)

Yellow color, short head. Aroma is hoppy, but not real good. Taste is better, grainy, sparkling on the tongue. Decent pils and definitely better than the premium.

Clear ruby dark color, creamy large head. Aroma is caramel, coffee and toffee. Taste is like cold coffee almost, mocca with sugar on top. But very good!

Dark brown. Medium sized, short-lived head. Malty nose with chocolate and roast caramel. Feels and tastes weak, which of course isn’t a lie, but it does so in a very pleasant way. I can imagine why Czech dissidents would sit up all night discussing politics with this kind of beer.

(500 ml bottle). Moderate head, dark reddish brown colour. A very flavourful dunkel despite the low ABV - malty, rounded caramelly sweetness, low bitterness. Not bad - would like to try it on tap.
Rerate draught in Prague, compared to Krusovice Cerne: Sweeter than KC, smaller head, more carbonation, less hops, less roastiness, lighter body. Overall 13/20.
