Very light metallic-golden beer, heavily carbonated to fluffy white head. Caramelly hint in the nose, with some very discreet herbal hops and stale rainwater. Watery pale malts solution, with some faint retronasal cookie-sweetness. Spritzy, watery and empty. Definitely not Slovakia’s best. OTOH, worthy of Heineken. Thanks to Peter V!

Small amberish cream-coloured head, constantly fed from deep ruby-brownish beer. Nose is a combination of wood and chocolate wafers, bit of zoete drop . Liquorice, drop and a wry, woody background, influencing the MF as well. Some dark chocolate, both sweet and bitter(ish). Very slick, full mouthfeel, discreet alcoholwarming. Remarkable peppery aftertaste. Not meritless Bock, if on the (to be expected) sweet side. Many thanks to Peter V.!

500ml bottle. Filtered tan. Big foamy off-white head. Brewhouse malt aroma, with some classic Boho-Pils nobel hop tones. A little watery. There is some dirty graininess that takes away some enjoyability palate-wise. Mild hops, mellow malt tones. Pretty drinkable, mellow stuff.

500 ml bottle into footed pilsner glass. I knew it would be skunky, but I don’t have a beer from this country so I guess I can choke down this green-bottled Euro-lager. Pours a gorgeous clear deep gold hue with a nice-sized billowy white head with great retention; leaves some decorative lacework. Other than the aforementioned skunk in the nose, there’s some wet hay, SweeTarts candy. Taste is mostly sweet with a light hoppy bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel is both crisp and creamy; carbonation is medium, body is light to medium. Rather than "choke it down," like I thought was going to happen, I enjoyed this quite a bit. It’s a thirst-quencher. The aroma is the only defect here, and could have easily been avoided if the bottler had chosen to use brown glass instead of green glass. I’m sure this beer is wonderful straight from the tap.
