Description
The Žatec (Saaz) region is famous worldwide for its unchallenged hops so it doesn't come as a surprise that brewing started way back in the Middle Ages. In 1261 the Society of Žatec Privileged Brewers was established. Close to the end of the 18th century, the Žatec breweries together were not able to cover the full market demand for beer so after 30 years of hesitation it was finally decided to build a new brewery in 1797 where brewing started in 1801. After the German occupation the brewery was nationalized. In 1995 reprivatisation took place and in 2014 the brewery was acquired by Carlsberg. Brewery closed in Spring 2022. A new microbrewery with new ownership started brewing, using its brands, in 2023.

0,5 bottle. Színében semmi kivetnivaló, a habja is szép, tapad a pohárra, szép barnasör kinézet, címke is jellegzetes. Visszafogott illat, talán legjobban egy kicsi komlózás érződik, és háttérben csak a prökölt malátás jegyek. Ízre: gyengén szénsavas, könnyen iható, picit számomra vizes. Nincs különösebb karakter, mindenből egy pici: komló háttérben, pici karamell, pici malátásság, édesség. Utóízben alap-lager íz jön már, a komló miatt. Nem rossz, de én jobbat vártam.
***
There is nothing objectionable in its color, its foam is also beautiful, it sticks to the glass, it has a nice brown beer look and a label. Restrained scent, perhaps best felt with a slight hops, and in the background only the scorched malt notes. Taste: weakly carbonated, easy to drink, a little watery for me. There is no special character, a little of everything: hops in the background, a little caramel, a little malt, sweetness. In the aftertaste, basic lager flavor is already coming, because of the hops. Not bad, but I expected better.

0,5 bottle. A komlós, gyógynövényes füves illat mellett érezhetően malátás illatú (is) ez a cseh pilseni, de főként komlós friss illata is van. Aranysárga, szép tiszta, habja nagyon testes, kemény, szép, igazi cseh pilseni küllem. Nagyon finom, testes, jól komlózott, remek sör. Keserű utóíz, minőségi víz, minőségi komló, d a maláta is érződik. Tökéletes ivósöröm lenne, ha könnyű lenne hozzá jutni! A cseh sör kedvelőknek ajánlom, jó árban kapható!

In addition to the grassy, herbal grassy scent, this Czech pilsner (also) has a noticeable malt scent, but it also has a freshly fresh hop scent. Golden yellow, nice clean, very foamy, hard, nice, real Czech pilsner look. Very delicious, full-bodied, well-hoped, great beer. Bitter aftertaste, quality water, quality hops, d malt can also be felt. It would be perfect drinking pleasure if it was easy to get! I recommend it to Czech beer lovers, it is available at a good price!

330ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes, shared with Pål. Bright warm golden body, steady white head, decent lacing. Mid-sweet pale malty aromas, hints of dusty hops. Variety of caramel malts and noble hops to the taste buds, distant notes of butter. Dry, mid-sweet malty finish Clean in the mouth. Nice partner to our Indian chicken dish. (Tromsø 02.02.2019).

Flaske fra Vinmonopolet Tromsø - Sentrum. Gyldenbrun. Middels høyt kritthvitt kremaktig skum som daler sakte og etterlater pene filigranser. Tydelig & god maltaroma. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken malt, karamell & gress. Behagelig bitter ettersmak. Utmerket pilsner! Trengs i disse grumsete NEIPA-tider.
