Here is another beer from our trip to Prague last weekend. If you ask for a beer in Prague chances are that you will get a Staropramen. That's what I had when we went to the Hard Rock Cafe to collect our Prague Pilsner Glass. I didn't take any notes while drinking my Staropramen there so I picked up a bottle to go and cracked it tonight.
The Staropramen Svetly is a Bohemian Light Pilsner. It poured with a very light head that disappeared very quickly. The aroma was almost nonexistent. The flavor was very light, slightly sweet and very little flavor of hops that dominate a typical pilsner. I'd almost say it was watery. Despite teh fact taht you can git this everywhere in Prague, I would guess that was because the brewery is in the city itself and and not because it was anything special.
An OK beer but if you are looking for a hoppy Pilsner I'd recommend you go looking somewhere else.
