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.

4.2% alc. Golden colour, medium sized head that quickly disappears- Faint malty aroma. Faint, but pleasant malt/lemon taste, but has a good bite. There are also some hints of fruit, and watermelon (as a previous rater stated) is probably the best choice. Some honey as well. Faint (again) hops in aftertaste. A very good session beer.

Hmmm.....red can (Litovel Premium Svétlý Ležák, and 5.0 alc.vol. The Litovel Classic can I also bought looks like the one on the picture. I guess my hunt for Czech beers available in Split is over, all are accounted for. It has a deep golden colour, going orange. Big fluffy head that’s quickly gone without lacing. Carbonation quite apparent. The nose is mostly dust and malt, with some lemon. The taste is at first very bitter and hoppy, with some lemon. But as it gets warmer, the taste changes. Malt, which was at first annihilated by the bitterness appears and takes over, but so does dust. The taste also becomes breadier to balance it out. Not my favorite type of lager, but it was obviously fine enough. Anyway, pale lager ? Bohemian Pilsener more likely....
