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, Café Olympia, Åre, Sweden, 18 March 2009) Golden colour with firm, frothy, white head. Malty, bready nose with notes of hay, toffee and grassy hops. Malty, bready taste with hay, butter, grassy hops and slightly toasty grain. Generous grassy bitterness in the finish. Some malt sweetness throughout. Not exceptional but a decent Bohemian pilsener.
