Bakalar Czech Pilsner

From my recent sojourn to Morrison's, Bakalar Pilsner (5.0% abv) by Cisarsky Pivovar was an interesting find. The brewery sources it's water from two artisan wells underneath the brewery. Besides this bit of trivia, I can't find out much more about the brewery!
My opinions on the pale fizz? This beer is very fragrant and soapy. Its like someone has tipped a whole lot of saaz flavoured hand soap into the beer! But its not too bad. Slightly sweeter than your typical Pilsner the beer is certainly one of the better bottled beers I have had lately, well certainly better than Marston's anyway!

Litovel Premium

The Approach Tavern also has an interesting selection of Czech beers available on tap. It was Chris's round and he selected to go for Litovel Premium (5.0% abv) a nice bitter, grassy pilsner from the Litovel region of the Czech republic. The beer is quite similar to other pilsners such as Budvar and Staropramen, a quality Czech Pils.
