330 ml green bottle, now available in Norway. Sold in brown bottles for the Czech home market. Golden colour, good to moderate head, little lacing. 1795 is another "budweiser" from the town of Budejovice / Budweis (= another Bohemian pilsener, for anyone else but Czech appellation fanatics) with a pleasant Saaz aroma, elements of flowers and grass. Flavour is clean tasting, smooth and soft with moderate but pleasant hops. Just a faint hint of "boiledness" in the background, but not enough to make it disturbing. A nice quaffing pils, not an orgasmic experience but certainly easy drinking.

Small disappearing greige head; dark red-brown beer. Burnt-bready nose, Maillard-like. Rather sweet smell for a stout, certainly an Imperial one. Sweet liquorice taste; cola with some burnt malts and hops (presumably also burnt). Ends more grainy, roasted, but always sweet. Light, thinnish body, bit of alcohol. My Imperial *ss. Pardon my French, but this isn’t even a real stout, full stop. This is a, rather ordinary, Schwarzbier, with some alcohol steroids.

(Bottle 33 cl) Deep golden - pretty close to the Budweiser from the same town. Full-bodied, slightly sweetish with pronounced malty notes - you really taste the grain in this. Decently hopped also. 110104

Bottled: Malty (caramel) nose with some hints of hoppiness, golden colour; quite smooth, the sweetish malty taste dominates; shy, but distinct bitter-aromatic aftertaste; a bit bland, but not unpleasant ! NOTE: This bohemian Lager is not brewed by the world famous Budvar Brewery (founded 1895 by czech citizens of Budweis and still today in the hands of the czech state) but by the Budejovicky Mestansky Pivovar (founded by german citizens of Budejovice/Budweis 1795 and now a private company) !

Pour is a deep red with no head. Aroma is...oh no...skunk. Flavor is honey gone bad, if that can happen. Not much to this one. Leaves and awful taste at the back of the throat. Pretty bad and watery all around. Stick to pilsners my Czech brothers!

Bottled. Dark brown colour with brownish beige head, leaves lacing. Sweet aroma of caramel and also hints of honey and a bit roast. Sweetish fruity and caramelly flavour with notes of roasted malt. Not much aftertaste.
