L:
-pours a clear deep golden with a medium,foamy,white head
-medium carbonation visible
S:
-very spicy,slightly roasted malt,soapy,vegetal
T:
-white pepper,herbal,very spicy,slight sugar sweetness
-medium to high, lingering bitterniss
F:
-medium carbonation
-light body
O:
The lingering Bitterniss through the hop extract is really pulling this down.
I was scared about the added sugar at first, but it wasn't too sweet.
I'd still prefer a proper Pils to be brewed without additional sugar.

500ml can - another thoughtful gift from an old friend from Prague who was visiting the Rocky Mountains here last week. Zero English on the wordy label - nice!
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat bubbly off-white head, which leaves some splendidly thorough snow rime lace around the glass as it slowly but surely abates.
It smells of grainy and crackery cereal malt, a bit of mixed pome fruitiness, some damp minerality, and subtle earthy, floral, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a generic acrid fruity character, some stoney flintiness, a bit of lager yeast, and more leafy, weedy, and grassy verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-satiating frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, but for a touch of yeast acerbity perhaps making a few too many waves at this particular juncture. It finishes trending dry, the crackery malt and grassy hops keeping up appearances.
Overall - this is certainly akin to what I drank tons of the last time I was in Central Europe, nice and crisp in its bearing. Definitely the real deal, and quite enjoyable on a comfortably sunny Alberta afternoon, I must say.

This brewery ispytavala special affection, as I consider it one of the best breweries in the Czech Republic, but that's what the beer is certainly not the brightest representative of her !!!

Served: Bottled; tasted at home.
Look and style: The bottle is as simple as it can be with a retro (or rather obsolete) etiquette. Beer in a glass looks like nice, classic pale gold Czech lager.
Taste: They have probably a great source of water in Svijnay, because water is a dominant taste of their beer. Svijany evolved through last years. Maz got rid of its typical "banana" aftertaste and substituted it with a watery feel. The beer has almost no interesting taste with an exception of "spicy" aftertaste, which makes it less drinkable.
Recommendation: Avoid this beer. It is rather worse Czech lager with no style or interesting taste.
