Bohemia Regent, Czech Golden Lager (Czech Republic) 
This golden lager has a light to medium colour and thinish white head. The nose is hoppy and gently malty, with nutty warming notes and a tiny suggestion of something herbal. On the palate this is a cleanly made beer, with a decent balance of hoppy, vegetal character and toasty malt. The finish is quite spicy and has a little bite, but this beeer is somewhat lacking in the mid palate, where it seems rather watery and touch weak. 5.0% ABV, 50cl, �1.59, James Clay, Easywine, Beersofeurope. |  |
Bohemia Regent, Dark Lager (Czech Republic)
A 'dunkel'-style dark lager, this pours a very dark garnet/tobacco colour with a moderate off-white head. The nose is malty and biscuity, with a dark stewed fruit quality and a touch of chocolate. On the palate it is medium- to full-bodied, and there is an initial attack of sweetness, that is joined by a juicy sourness. Bitter hoppy notes come through, with a pithy lemon quality and the sweetness of the malt just fillling in on the finish. There is a slightly muddy quality to this beer, with the flavours not quite well enough defined, but it has decent character and length in the mouth. 4.4% ABV, 50cl, �1.59, Easywine, Beersofeurope.  |  |
Bohemia Regent, Prezident Premium Lager (Czech Republic)
This Czech lager is new to the UK (imported by James Clay). It pours a medium, solid gold with a moderate white head. It has a powerfully aromatic nose, with plenty of herbal, hoppy notes, some floral character and a touch of biscuitty richness. On the palate it is full-flavoured and has plenty of oomph (6% ABV), with a big, hoppy, spicy presence, and a real sweetness at its core. Some may actually find this a little too sweet, but there is a mass of hoppy bitter flavour in the finish too, and real kick of cinammon-like spice. 6.0% ABV, 50cl, �1.79, James Clay, Beersofeurope. |  |
