pale yello, slightly hazy, large head. Very nice malty aroma. Starting dry, getting more malty towards the finish. Slight flavours of walnut, very interesting. Dry aftertaste.

Bottle: Deep golden coloured, big lacing white head; herbal hops, honey, sweet-malt and a tinge of cardboard in the nose; moderate bitter-sweet taste, light to medium-bodied; a touch of alcohol in the dryish herbal-bitter finish. Not a well balanced Pilsener..........

Bottle: Deep golden coloured, mid-sized and pretty stable white head; typical "bohemian" nose: distinctive sweet-malt, rounded by spicy herbal hops; robust sweet-bitter flavour over a light malty base, rather light bodied; mild but spicy herbal finish. A good example of that style, astonishingly not available in Bohemia.....

(bottle, German label: Fürst Original Böhmisches Bier, 4.8%, bought at a Norma supermarket for 35 €urocents) Clear, golden colour with a lacey foamy, slightly yellow head. Sweet malty, slightly sugary and buttery aroma with a subtle apple-fruitiness and shy traces of hops. Moderately sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Grainy, slightly bready taste, a bit fizzy on the palate; moderately dry, malt-accented, slightly bitter, shy hoppy finish. Rather bland.

(bottle from Germany, 4.7% ABV, as Lobkow. Baron Urböhmisches Schwarzbier) Clear, dark brown colour with a reddish shine and a medium-sized, light-beige foamy head. Sweet and a bit sugary dark malty aroma with cacao and caramel. Bitter and slightly sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Dark malty, slightly roasted taste with caramel and pretty strong notes of liquorice, lingering into the moderately bitter finish, accompanied with notes of chocolate and a whiff of herbal hops. Nice session beer.

Bottled(500ml). -Cloudy orange coloured, medium sized airy white head, perfumey nose. Very smooth. The aroma is malty, nice hoppy and fruity (lemon and apple). Mild hoppy aftertaste. Nice and pleasant taste which is slightly worse than Vevoda.

Undated bottle, though well-aged, I’m quite sure, consumed on 8/21/06.
Snow-white head tops a bubbly medium-golden body with some light brass tints. Retention is strong for its age, though it is filtered, of course, and does recede eventually to a ring, with no lacing.
Peppery/grassy and herbal hops are apparent immediately, in the nose, with an oiliness, almost wood-like, in the background, welded to lightly doughy, lightly honeyish malts. Very light, but not as plush as usual, with a bit more hard an edge to the malts. Though this seems to do no harm, only making it more crisp. Relatively clean yeast, here, without the heavy mineral nature classic of these yeasts. Hops lighten and become flowery, with some light vanillin on the very end, though not overly problematic.
A balance is achieved between sweet, sticky honey and harder, huskier grains, while a moderate hop bitterness keeps things fairly bright. Still some flowery hop flavor, and the carbonation is appropriate. About as good as it gets in a filtered/forced carbonated, imported bohemian pils.
Like usual, most reviews comment on how drinkable it is, some call it pleasant, almost none have anything bad to say, but yet the numbers do not follow.

Dark reddish brown with a thin off white head. Sweet doughy malt aroma, with notes of caramel. Sweet malt in mouth, with light caramel, and light burned coffee notes. A bit oxidized. Medium bodied, with some light metallic alcohol in finish. Nuttyness develops as beer warms up. BB 9-9-05. Trade from Piscator in Spring 2005.

Clear yellow color, big white head. Aroma of czech hops, bit floral. Quite bitter taste, soft, bit watery. Decent bohemian pilsener.
