Description
Staropramen Brewery's history begins in 1869 when a corporation was formed on September 6, 1869, The brewery building was completed and beer first brewed in 1871 and the brand name Staropramen, literally meaning “old spring”, was registered in 1911.
Extensive modernization took place from 1933 to 1937 lead by masterbrewer Josef Paspa. The fermentation rooms with cooling vessels and large wooden barrels were replaced with modern steel tanks. In 1933, thanks to its volume of 800,000 hl of produced beer, the brewery became the biggest brewery in Czechoslovakia.
With socialism after the Second World War Staropramen was nationalised. After socialism ended in 1989, the brewery, along with the Braník and Měšťan breweries, became in 1992 part of the Prague Breweries group (Pražské Pivovary), which by 1996 came under control of the Bass company. Bass brought Ostravar into the group in 1997, then in 2000 sold its brewing operations to Interbrew, later AB InBev. In April 2012, Staropramen was bought by Molson Coors

Bottle we picked up from Kaufland in Czechia and consumed at home Sunday 18th February 2024, having Cannelloni for tea later. Pours yolky yellow with a white head, very hazy, fresh nose, there is a little bit of citrus. Soft mouthfeel, a little fruity, it's a bit more hoppy and less of the usual Hefe Weiße characteristics than a German example. Fine.

Can, 0.50l. Aroma is grainy, grassy and not too much worty with just a hint of a cat piss. Pours clear golden amber color with medium sized soapy off-white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts light to medium sweet caramelly and worty, following is citrusy, plummy and grassy, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is mild bitter. Light to medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Not impossible to drink a full can…

Klar und rotblond im Glas. Getreidig, malzige Noten bestimmen (minimal leer / spelzig). Ein winziger Hauch Honig. Florale und krautige Nuancen, die ganz leicht ins gallige, muffige abrutschen - ohne dabei wirklich unangenehm zu werden. Die allerbeste Qualität von Hopfen wurde hier glaube ich nicht verwendet. Weich und voll im Mund. Gut trinkbar, aber sicher kein Highlight der tschechischen Braukunst.

0.5 l can. Clear golden. Aroma is grainy, caramely and lightly perfumy fruity. Flavour is bready, caramely and for some reason candy-like. Too sweet. Light body. Moderate carbonation. Minimal bitterness. Abrupt finish.
