on the runway

How can you not just pick up everything you see in the land of beer?  Mostly lack of arm space, I think.  It's early days here, so I haven't had a chance to roam out looking for beer shops, which I believe do exist.  If I've been misinformed, there are certainly craft beer bars.  For lack of other avenues, the supermarket is always a last resort.  I have to settle for cans at the moment too, since it seems unnecessary to splurge on a bottle opener, and there's a can front and center that looks like a good start.  Braník, product of Staropramen, ought to be an easing into beers of the area, nothing too fancy just yet.

Indeed, very light colored, fluffy head but rapidly disappearing head.  Sweet and fruity aroma, a bit appley.  Bitter taste at first, but some sweet washes over.  The tail end goes back to bitter, but nothing very powerful.  It's a very easy going beer, would have been good with the spaghetti at dinner in fact.  It's very regular, not changing at all in flavor over time, really.  Although it's not a very attention grabbing beer, it is a nice one to have on a disgustingly warm evening, waiting for the place to cool down.  Other than that aspect, there's not a whole lot going for it in terms of memorability.
Hopefully there will be more experimental things to come.
