Welcome to part two in my budget beer series. Tesco kindly gave me a coupon that brought Vratislav down to 99 pence, so I thought it deserved a review. Now, although I've listed the brewery as Staropramen, this is simply what the internet tells me. The beer as labeled gives little indication and it seems to be produced specifically for Tesco. Having said that, it is a 5% Czech Pilsner and its heritage shines through. Let's get the direct comparison out of the way up front; if you have only 99 pence and are in a Tesco, buy this instead of the Bavaria, it is simply better in every way. There is a pleasant cereal taste throughout, but the big complaint has to be the watery edge that higher priced beers tend to avoid. All in all it comes in at a 5/10 without taking the price into consideration, when it is considered as a one pound pint, that has to easily rise to a 6.
