Bottled. Clear pale golden, small but firm head. There’s some paper and hay. Light-medium bodied with streamlined simple malt character and growing late bitterness. Drinkable but lacking in character.

Bottled(500ml). –Pale golden coloured, medium sized white head, dusty nose. Not much of aroma here, just weak malty and slight hoppy with watery palate and rather bitter finish. Tasteless even for Diet beer.

Bottle I think I purchased at the Tesco near Plzen. Pale golden body, small white head. Very light malty nose, slightly salty. Light, somewhat salty taste, grain and glue. Weak apple, even weaker bitterness. Not offensive but dull and crappy. Even for a diet beer.

500ml bottle from Tesco, Plzen. Clear gold, thin white head. Some cardboard on aroma. Cardboard throughout. Some lemon, very watery and frankly poor. Maybe diacetyl too.

0.5 l bottle Doggythedog brought from Plzen, so thanks a lot for sharing! Poured golden body with small or tiny head. Nothing much in aroma, some slight malt combined with salt, repulsive. Flavor luckily not salty, rather slightly bitter, but watery, empty. Bitterish, shorter finish. Drinkable and refreshing on a hot summer day, but so simple and foul for Bohemian pilsener. OK, it’s diet beer, but whatever...

500ml bottle from Tesco, Plzen. Very deep ruby colour with thin beige head. Charcoal aroma and then this dark plum/cherry sweetish fruit in moouth. If I was given this as a mild, I’d say it’s a tad sweet. OK for drinking, but just a tad too sweet.

50cl bottle. Pours dark golden with a creamy egg white head & lacings. Aroma is bitter of grass & corn. Bitter, dry & crisp taste. Hints of bread & buiscuit! Enjoyable!

Bottled. Deeper golden colour with mediumsized white head that disappears quite fast. Aroma is papery, hayish and has some mild buttery and rubbery notes to it. Flavour is rubbery, slightly metallic as well as some cardboard.

500 ml bottle. Pours reddish-brown, lingering tan head. Smells of some dark malts, but also some corn sugar, although somehow this isn’t too bad. At least there’s no skunk for a green-bottled import (but the native version is in a brown bottle? Curse those Heinekens!). I’m tasting this after some honey-roast peanuts, so I’m picking up plenty of sweetness. Very grainy taste up front, but not as corny as the smell suggested. Fizz is more along the lines of a thick cola. In fact, the taste reminds me of the non-alcoholic kvas sodas in Russian neighborhood grocers. Other raters mention rye bread, and that’s in kvas, alright. Not a great dunkel, but more character and spunk than most American "dark" beers, and interesting in itself. Available at Binny’s.of Willowbrook.
