[Draught at Soldaten Svejk, Stockholm as Skalák Premium] Deep golden, rocky head. Papery aroma with some apples thrown in. Medium sweet with pleasantly soft mouthfeel. Swimming in sugary water there is a whiff of butterscotch. Near no bitterness. Not at all what I was expecting, much less hoping for.

(bottle) Clear and deep golden colour with a firm medium white foamy head. Floral hoppy nose with a touch of citrus fruits and cake dough. Bread-malty flavour and taste, medium body, lively carbonation, fruity and hopbitter finish. A well-balanced, crisp and clean Pilsener.

Bottle (bought at the brewery): Deep golden coloured, medium-sized fluffy head, quickly diminishing; some variations on the the malty theme in the nose: honey, caramel, cookies, only light hoppiness from far behind, too; slightly sweetish beginning; light bitter-sweet flavour; soft bitter-sweet finish; decent brew, well rounded, well drinkable.

Wonderfully complex Czechish pilsener. Low in alcohol, but rich in character. Rather light bodied, big buttery saaz hop aroma.
