Has a smoothly bitter taste, a soft malt and hops scent and sparkles perfectly. This highly malted beer is considered to be an excellent lager both at home and abroad

3.7 0,5l bottle. As "Kozel Lager Premium", 4.6%. A clear golden beer with a rich white head and high carbonation. Soft aroma with notes of floral hops, sweet citrus and some bready malts. Bitter flavour with notes of floral hops, malts and grain. Slightly bitter hoppy aftertaste.

3.0 Can, as Kozel Premium Lager 4.6%. Enjoyed straight from the can. Some malt, bitterness and slightly bitter hoppy finish. Decent.

3.0 bottiglia 50 cl, 4,6% VOL, schiuma bianca fine media persistenza, colore giallo/oro limpido, al naso cereali leggero agrumi e frutta matura, in bocca pane cerali leggero agrumi e leggero burrosa, corpo leggero, carbonazione moderata, amaro percettibile. Non molto pulita ma si lascia bere. c. Carrefour Germignaga 11.06.21

3.5 Bevuta in bottiglia. Tipica birra bionda comunque buona. Leggera e buon gusto d'orzo.

2.9 [as Kozel Premium Lager (4.6%)] Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dall'orzo. La finezza olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, pane cotto di recente, erbaceo e agrumi.

1.9 Bottiglia da 0,50. Schiuma scarsa e volatile. Colore oro. Carbonatura leggermente eccessiva. Aromi di cereali e caramello. Gusto lieve alquanto acidulo. Finale breve. Lager di bassa qualità. Consiglio 4/10

3.3 For the price in Australia this is really decent. A little egg in that malt lager aroma but the flavour is quite nice, has some sweet over ripe banana, a syrupy body with some decent bitterness. Golden/dark colour, well matched carbonation. Not a typical refereshing lager fix. This shouldn't be good, but it is.

2.8 Lager ceca dal colore giallo dorato, con una schiuma bianca ma poco persistente. Il profumo è bello maltato così come il gusto, amarognolo ma ben bilanciato con i luppoli che donano sfumature dolciastre alla birra. Il corpo è leggero, delicato e rotondo ed è molto beverina, ideale da bere a tavola in particolare accompagnando piatti tipici della cucina ceca. Non male per essere una lager commerciale.

3.5 Pours with a medium head from a 500 mL can. The version I drank came from the Czech brewery at 4.6% alcohol. Quite bitter for the North American market, but I found it excellent with a hoppy, but not overpowering, aftertaste.

2.2 Die Optik gibt sich vielversprechend. Klar und satt goldgelb mit leichtem Einschlag von Bernstein. Die weiße, mittel- bis feinporige Schaumkrone zeigt sich stabil und gut haltbar. In der Nase würzig malzig und leicht hefig. Dem leicht herben und malzigen Antrunk folgt ein getreidig malziger, gut würziger und leicht metallischer Mittelteil, in dem sich die erwartete Herbe praktisch gänzlich zurückhält. Im Abgang kommt eine leicht phenolische Note hervor, die nach mehreren Sekunden einer mäßig guten Hopfenherbe weicht. Für meinen Geschmack wirkt dieses Bier zu wenig ausgewogen, nicht wirklich rund und zu lieblos.

1.2 33cl bottle from italian store, mine for the review is 4.6% abv and made in Italy by Birra Peroni, which i didn't realize at first. Would like to try the other version and know if they are different enough to have 2 different pages from seeing the good ratings, since that's what i believe. Aroma seemed good at first of malt and grassy hops, turned to smell metallic once poured. I mean, too much really. Clear golden color and the little foam didn't last a moment. Taste was better at least but not by much.. too much like water, with some carbonation and the hops bitterness being by far the best thing about it. I'm leaving a minimum score and only because i have hope the other reviews are not about the same Kozel Premium Lager made here... this one was really bad, no joke.

4.0 De Combino. En copa hefe de Bavaria. En almuerzo, con tortilla de patatas de Km1, pollo guisado y bombones Nestlé caja roja. Muy refrescante y con buen cuerpo, de las que te entran ganas de acabartela de un trago

2.6 500ml bottle. white medium head aroma malt, grain, grass?Medium sweetness and light to medium bitterness. decent beer

3.2 Huvitav, et see on mul hindamata. Muidu olen proovinud nii pudelist kui vaadist. Värskena pole viga, aga üldiselt Urquell on ikka way parem igas olekus.

4.1 Eine helle Farbe mit leichter Trübung. Geruch nach süßen Malz. Erfrischender Antrunk. Aromen von Malz und Brot sind deutlich spürbar. Ein sehr steigendes Bier.

2.6 Pite jakiś czas temu. Ocena w celu uzupełnienia profilu. https://www.instagram.com/czgr_

3.7 Farbe: goldgelb Schaum: verfliegt super schnell Geruch: malzig, etwas muffig Geschmack: antrunk malzig süß, am Ende wird es bitter aber nicht zu sehr Abgang ist kurz. Die süße bleibt allerdings süß.

3.3 Light amber color, almost no foam. Fresh floral taste, a bit sweet and malty. Very decent, a good representative of Pilsener Beer.

2.8 (500ml bottle, 4.6% ABV, says "1874" on the label, Berlin. 21 Oct 2020) AROMA: soft grain and lager notes, biscuit, boiled vegetables APPEARANCE: light brownish honey yellow, clear, ok head, minimal residual TASTE: grain, touch of toast, moderate euro lager notes, very lightly sweet, some green and fall notes with wood and nuts, PALATE: light to medium, easy astringency, touch creamy, light bitterness, soft followthru OVERALL: a very drinkable euro lager, a bit light and simple, but overall quite enjoyable. This could deserve a bit higher rating... worthy of being part of a blind taste comparison.

2.8 Botella 500ml de 4.6% de Plzen.Color dorada con espuma blanca,fina,alta,resistente.Aroma malta,herbal,muy aromatica.Sabor ligero amargor,malta,herbal.Postgusto queda amargo

3.4 Velké Popovice Kozel - den Namen muss man sich erst mal auf der deutschen Zunge zergehen lassen. Geruch frisch, floral, leicht süßlich. Geschmacklich findet man Malz, leichte florale Nuancen und deutlich bittere Noten. Das Bier ist wunderbar weich. Sehr süffig, was allerdings bei nur 4,6 % Alk. zu erwarten war. Nicht zu wässrig, schmeckt aber ein bisschen "abgekocht". Trotzdem ganz gut. Bis jetzt waren das Kozel Lager das Beste was ich aus Tschechien hatte.

2.8 Can 500ml at Ruovesi. From S-market Ruovesi. BBE 2021-04-16. Pours clear golden with white head. Flavor has malts, grain, hay, light hops. Medium to light body, watery texture, average carbonation, malty finish.

2.4 Pint on draught, at a restaurant. Gold colour + white head. Grainy, light malty, grassy, light rusty metallic, light lactic / milky (?), light dusty / cobwebby (?). Yeah I'm pretty sure this is infected, still honestly tastes better than the other beers they had though (Budweiser + Corona)

2.6 Can in Croatia. Standard lager more than anything. Very silky, not overly malted or hopped. Decent but not premium imo

5.0 ちょうどよい

1.7 Can. Zlta farba, slaba bena. Vona zelezita, chlebova. Chut trpko horka, zelezita, umela.

3.0 Gift from a good friend (her favorite beer), this version of the Premium Lager is at 4.6%, nice to see made from malted barley, yet, the barley taste could be made more present.

2.5 Ein Bier das man in letzter Zeit in Österreich immer öfter findet. Da ich ja leider nicht ins Land der Pilsners reisen kann, kaufte ich mir eine NORM-Flasche. Ein Blick auf die Rückseite des Etiketts machte mich dann etwas stutzig: "Gebraut in Österreich für Asahi!". Gut - dass Kozel zum Asahi-Konzern gehört, ist bekannt, aber ich wüßte keine Brauerei in Österreich, welche zu Asahi gehört -immerhin hat sich Heineken den größten Anteil der heimischen Brauereien geschluckt. Keine Ahnung, wer hier offenbar in Lizenz braut. Da ich auch das tschechische Original kenne, will ich mir eine Bewertung zutrauen. Als ich es das erste Mal trank, hat es mich schwer erfreut. Jetzt würde ich es als klassischen Industrie-Standard betrachten, das man gut trinken kann, aber nicht wirklich in Erinnerung bleibt.

2.8 An average pilsener for a hot afternoon or a party. Some malt sweetness, some hops and some wet paper.
