33cl can from Calle, Tallinn. Pours clear golden with not much head to speak of. Mild grainy and malty aroma with cooked vegetables and grassy notes. Moderate sweet with low flavour intensity and a fairly light bitterness. Fairly drinkable, but not close to a decent Czech světlý. --- Beer merged from original tick of 1795 Original Czech Lager Premium on 26 Apr 2016 at 18:39 - Score: 5

Bottle from random Tesco in Brno. Merciless brutal lightstruck aroma right off the bat. Clear golden colour, almost no head to speak of. Actually once you get past the lightstruck this could be one of the better nonalcoholic beers. Yes, it has dull metallic bitterness, but so do all the others. There is a hint of actual malt and hops in the aroma and the taste though. You could do much worse. I wonder how this could taste out of a brown bottle. A little step for economic department at Budějovice, but a big leap for drinkers.

BOTTLE 50 CL. Clear golden, small white head. Nice aromatic malts in the nose, cereals and bread, a touch of herbal hops. Taste: light toasty malty sweetness, cereals, husk. Moderate bitter grassy finish. Has that swampy feel that many Svetlys have, but no big deal. The body is on the verge of watery, but good enough for the gravity. Decent.

nice appearance, floral hops maybe some wheat. Long finish leaving a light bitter taste. Decent lager, that lacks a little malt taste.
