This Czech lager (5%) has bcome more available and popular since the advent of cheap flights and weekends away. The brewery says,"Traditional Czech brewing methods are used in the brewing of Staropramen. Staropramen uses a special blend of natural Czech ingrediants. Bohemian barley and Saatzer hops have been used to produce Czech beer for hundreds of years."

The Independent says, "The Czechs make the best lager in Europe, and Staropramen is their most famous brand. Familiar to drinkers across the UK, where it has become a leading keg brand since the end of the cold war: it proves that big brewers can sometimes turn out a decent pint. The bottled version, made in Prague, is light, golden and flavoursome: a prince amongbland, mass - market lagers. Available everywhere, it's the sort of lager you could happily stick to for the rest of your life."

I say; Relatively tasty, but not alot of depth to it. Better than the majority of lagers, I think it has lost out, for me, to the new range of summer ales. Would drink it again definitely, but wouldn't be one I'd go out of my way for.
