Lager Logic

Czechvar Dark Lager

Budějovický Budvar NP

4.7% Alcohol

This was an odd and confusing review for me. It progressed chronologically* although perhaps not logically.

Dark, black pour, but as bubbly as Doris Day. A foamy top that ruled the roost for a while. A malty aroma, not strong but distinctive. Carbonated head but no bubbles in the beer.

With my first taste I thought to myself that I may not be able to finish this beer, that is how unappealing the first swig was. And let me tell you, it is a very rare brew that I don’t finish.** Thin, bitter, fizzy, watery. Very watery mouthfeel.

But I persevered, as any dedicated reviewer would. As I progressed the bitter began to subside and a nice lager flavour started to replace it. I must admit I was surprised at how the beer evolved over the course of one tasting. The thin, watery feel remained throughout which was unfortunate.

Started nasty and I was very unimpressed, but it evolved into an OK (but still watery) lager.

*Editor’s Comment: Doesn’t everything progress chronologically?

**Editor’s Comment: Exceedingly rare I would say. You finished Goodbye Gravity. So unless there is a cigarette butt in it I expect you would down it.

Final Rating: Czechvar Comeback 14 out of 20
