On my first sip, I take a moment to admire the nice label, as well how the decent size beer fits nicely in the hand. I like these half litre sizes, it kind of tucks in the North American variety for the night and stands out just that much more. On the second sip I have to say I like Zlatopramen. It goes well with my lunch of European wieners, rye bread and amazing mustard, that the Czech’s seem to be quite good at as well. I wanted to keep drinking this beer, the flavour gave me sort of a twisting sensation, and I’m not sure whether it was the taste or there was finally some alcohol in my system, regardless it makes me want to drink more and when a beer does that it has to be good. The colour has brilliant gold appearance with a pleasant bitterness that just lingers on the tongue. I will have to add it to one my finalists in the search for a great beer.

The beer originates in 1642 and it doesn’t seem like bad year to get things going as I contemplate this luxurious beer. ‘Zlato’ means Gold, and it does have a sort of Golden taste, if there is such a thing, and it did inspire me to have another drink. “Pramen” the other half of the name means the source or spring of water. It would be fair to guess I may have found the source of Golden flavour, but I will have to get back to you on that because It is way to early to have ended my search and the sad thing is that I only bought one.
