Staropramen Premium Beer

5% abv
11.2 oz bottle
Pivovary Staropramen A. S.
Prague, Czech Republic
$11.00 a six pack/$1.83 btl

This pilsner has a deep golden body with a nice and pleasing nose. The taste is interesting. There are grains, mineral notes, and a slight touch of herbal spice with a little pink peppercorn. The grains seem to have a toasted style to make things interesting. There is kiss of sweet malts and the right touch of hops to make a fairly balanced pilsner. The carbonation level is good and there is a good aftertaste on the palate.

I personally think I could drink this on a year round bases. Pilsner Urquell taste is more suited for a hot summer day. That is my opinion – what say you – please leave a comment below.
