Initial Thoughts
A handsome enough can... looks an awful lot like eastern european lager, light amber, bright white head, big bubbles.
First Sip
Oh dear... the taste of metal is startling. Too long in the can? Checked the bottom, it was only canned on January 12th 2012... A bad tin maybe?
Halfway Through
The flavour of the can is still a mystery, but it’s dissipating pretty quickly. The beer itself is not bad! A real classic european lager. Really pilsner-like, if you like the standard fare from German and Czech brewers this ought to fit the bill.
Bottoms Up
Aside from reminding me of why glass is the preferred vessel for potable liquids, Czechvar proved to be a reasonable sample of Czech brewing. There are better examples out there, but this one is not bad.
