it's fitting for the towel

Who knows when I'll get another chance to travel to a Land of Good Traditional Beer?  I mean, there's plenty of good beer here now, but it's a very recent thing.  There's also plenty of German and English and American beer to be found, and good American beer, but not much from the Czech Republic.  Pilsner Urquell is on tap in a number of places, but it's just not the same here.  I check the beer stores, of course, but they tell me Czech beer just doesn't travel very well.  All we get are the kind of standards - Pilsner Urquell, Staropramen, Krušovice - and they're ok, but not like the smaller names.  *sigh*  Well, there was something new this time.  At first I thought it had been mislaid on the shelf, since the name is so obviously English, but the label declares it brewed in the Czech Republic.  For an English concern, but still.

Pivo, samozřejmě

Queen Bohemian Lager is a sort of homage to a great rock band, one of several in fact.  The only beer, though.  I'm not sure what connection the band had to the country, other than the song of course, but I'm not going to complain too much.  Any time a Czech beer gets into my hands is a good time.

Even if it's just having a laugh

It has the bitter, puffy smell of a traditional beer, and the traditional dark gold color, and the traditional white, bubbly head.  The taste is very subtle at first, just a touch sweet even, but then slides down into beery bitterness.  There's also a grassy background to it, like many German beers have.  The sweetness disappears fairly quickly, leaving later sips and gulps more bitter and pils-y, very pleasant and relaxing.
