(Bottle 33 cl) Dark golden, almost amber, not much head. Slightly sweetish - hops appear pretty late. Fuller body and stronger alcohol than in most Czechs. OK strong lager, but nothing spectacular. Weird label....

(swing top bottle) Deep golden colour with a huge foamy slightly off-white head. Aroma of cereal malts, floral hops and yeast. Medium bitter flavour, malty taste with a long well hopped dry finish. Unfortunately there is a slight medicine-like undertone in the finish, which is rather unpleasant.

Swing-top bottle (with added yeast): Straw golden coloured, hazy, big lasting rocky head; malty nose with some hints of yeast (vanilla) and hops; starts malty, soon switches over to a sharp, bitter, not very aromatic, but longer lasting aftertaste; kind of unharmonic, the fruity, yeasty nose and the malty start stand in an extreme contrast to the sharp aftertaste; in this "Holiday Lager" /Svatecni Lezak the typical "moreish" bohemian aftertaste is onlyv hard to find.

Bottle. Golden, tanned lacing head, pretty nitrogen bubbles. Initially fat bitterhop nose which dusts over after a bit. Solid malt base, light fruityness and a proper grassy bitterhop finish coating the back of the throat. Good stuff.
