Bottle(kindly delivered by Imro!): Golden, visible carbonation, small+stable white head, thin sweetish-bitter papery-almpnfy nose, a slight bitterness detectable; almost watery, weak sweet-bitter flavour; finishes like mineral water. Yawn…

Pours with a smooth head, that very quickly disintegrates into literally nothing. Colour is dark chocolate, most appealing thing this beer has to offer. Aroma lacking, hints of coffee with a little chocolate and above all roasty. Taste REALLY mild. There seems to be a harmony between bitterness and sweetness, but it is very very mild, watery. Some hints of coffee, a bit earthy.I expected more from this beer, it is drinkable, but not worth the title "special", in fact there is nothing special about it, everything too mild. 3 4 2 2 6 = 1.7 Revisited 25.7. . No head to speak of, dark brown colour. Aroa dark chocolate, roasted, dried fruits, quite nice. Taste is still literally watery, I don?t know if they used HGB with this or what (does not make sense with 13,9°, but whatever, Heineken...). Light to medium bitter, light to medium sweet. Mouthfeel oily, finish is somewhat sticky, more on the sweet side. While it definitely helped this beer to lay down a bit, bad beer stays a bad beer forever... revisited 30.6.2013. Unchanged

Bottle from supemarket in Bratislava. This is special Xmas beer for 2011. Dark golden color with medium beige head. Aroma of caramel, banana, earthy notes. Taste, banana, caramel, milk chocolate, coffee and again earthy hints. Long, light bitter-sour finish. Not so sweet as I expected. Drinkable.

Bottle. Country tick. Pours with a crystal clear yellow hue and a minimal white head. Aroma is quite lightstruck. Husky, weed, skunk. Pretty bad smelling but typical pale lager (sad for a Bohemian Pils). Stale bready and corn notes. Flavors are a bid better. Medium bitterness (would be very strong for a PL), bready, clean. Pretty thin and with a slight salinity. Medium to slightly lower carbonation. Dry. Lasting bitterness.

Not much of an aroma, but the beer has a few skunky hops notes and makes for an alright drink. Not wonderful for the style, though. 500ml bottle in Toronto

As Cerne, brewed under contract in Russia. Dark brown colour. Light brown head. The aroma is chocolatey with a hint of toastiness. Toasty, lightly chocolatey, this has decent balance. Fairly good body for a light beer.

Average white head, standard golden / yellow pilsener color. Smell pilsener malts, grains and a little musty. Nothing special and -though not complete rubbish- pretty boring.
