Budweiser Budvar Brewery (Budějovický Budvar) - Czechvar (Czech Republic)




Here is the world famous Budweiser!  Not the Budweiser from Anheuser-Busch, but the first Budweiser from Bohemia.  There is a long history of disputes about trademarks and names between the U.S. and Czech companies that you can read about here and here.

Anyway, to the beer.  It has a pale yellow color with a white head.  The aroma has some flowery and earthy notes with the typical pilsener skunky smell.  A slightly sweet, citrusy flavor with a mild hop finish is quite tasty.  Overall, it's a really smooth and crisp beer and a great example of the pilsener stlye.

Rating:  A-
