Kozel Premium
Kozel. But the goat this time cradles a lighter beer..
First mouthful I thought this was pretty alright. Then it just got worse, and worse, and looking back it's dropped from a very respectable score to an absolute belting in short time.
I could go into it but let's just say such is the fate of typical euro lager. 1.0

Kozel Dark
OK I bought this one because it was a dark beer in a 500ml bottle for a reasonable price, and it had a quite fetching goat on the label cradling a pint of said beer himself. What's not to like? Until you find out it's 3.8% and get a bit woozy.
Despite all that though, I've been pleasantly surprised. This pours with a pretty thin and airy head, but is nice and dark off the bat. The flavours are nicely balanced throughout and there's a bit of roasty dark maltiness with really light coffeeish tastes there also.
If I'm honest, there are better options for a light beer (LC Rogers, Eagle Bay Mild etc). But then, there are far worse and more watery dark beers at higher percentages also. I'm giving this a 6.5.
