ABV: 5.0
IBU: 22

Sometimes sold under the name "Budvar" this is one of three beers in the world that at one place or another had had the name of "Budweiser." Yes, for those of you who might not know, the beer in the U.S. known as Budweiser is not the only, for the original, brew with that name. In fact, the name was taken from two other beers in Europe. This particular beer is sold under the name "Czechvar" in North America for legal purposes, but uses different names in the rest of the world.

And this particular beer is what premium American beers only dream they could be.

Very refreshing and light looking, pours with a golden sheen with a big, white head while giving off scents of grains and maybe a little butter.

Goes down silky smooth with more of those grains in the taste, along with hints of citrus and perhaps caramel.

If you see it, purchase it. It's worth having.
