Bottled in the UK, but brewed in the Czech Republic (specifically at the Litovel brewery in Moravia), this lager comes in at 0.5% ABV in a 500 ml bottle. Zatec (Saaz) hops are used in the brew, together with malted barley and glucose-fructose syrup. It's also labelled as a vegan beer, which seems to be increasingly common. When poured into a large glass a good foamy head is created which hangs around impressively. The aroma is bready, albeit a very slight one. The taste is of a traditional lager, with touches of mandarin and green tea providing some distinctiveness. The body is well-rounded and it has moderate carbonation. A slightly bitter finish rounds off a pleasant if rather modest brew.
