Description
The more than 725-year-old beer tradition in Litovel dates back to 1291, when King Wenceslas II granted the city the mile right. This privilege allowed only the Litovel burghers to brew and tap beer within a radius of one medieval mile, i.e. in a vicinity of approximately seven kilometres. In the Middle Ages, beer was brewed in a brewing house, which was then located at Litovel 57. Those with brewing rights were among the most affluent people, and played a significant role in managing the city. Even contemporary Litovel beer is brewed using classic processes, the roots of which date back to this glorious historical era.

Bottle: Golden, lazy carbonation, mid-sized to bigger creamy and fluffy head; moderate, almost aromatic hoppy nose with a pale-malty background; malty base as usual detectable, moderate to solid dryish bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; harsh bitter, slightly sourish finish. A bit unharmonic, but all in all a quite good Bohemian Pilsener.......

bottle from Bierzwerg. Clear golden colour, large white head. Grainy-malty nose. Grainy malty bose with anice accents of dry bitter and aromatic hops. The character is not as bitter-sweet as in many Czech lagers, but still nice.

on tap at Louis Armstrong in Praha-Vinohrady. Golden yellow, large and creamy head, hoppy aroma. Quite hoppy with a solid malty base, hints of lemon, quite spritzy. Short finish. Even better from the bottle: pleasant hoppy aroma, full-bodied malty base, slightly sweet and grainy. Very pleasant hoppy flavours dominate. Bitter-sweet character.
