Brewer: Tradiční pivovar v Rakovníku (Traditional Brewery in Rakovnik)  (website)

Type of beer: Lager - Amber
ABV: 4.5 %    IBU: No IBU

Consumed at Prague, Czech Republic on April 7th, 2018.

Brewer’s Blurb:
A full-tasted beer of ruby colour with nice caramel flavour and a touch of hop bitterness.

Michael’s Notes:
Okay, so here's where I began learning more about different types of beer, especially lager: when I ordered this lager I expected more of the same old pissy lagers I was having in Southeast Asia. But no, this lager was not at all the same: it had so much taste and bite that I would never associate with a lager. I guess my own internal categorization of beer needs to be re-calibrated.

I was hoping to encounter similar beer while in Prague, but sadly this was the only one encountered, and ended up being my favorite beer while there.
