American or the original Czech version?

American or the original Czech version?

American. I recall it was originally marketed to American servicemen who wanted a "comfort beer". Eventually, they saw a broader marketing opportunity and went to the EU and basically the end result is that the German Beer Purity laws are unenforceable.

Over time, the whole idea of "truth in labeling laws" becomes the OPPOSITE of what they are supposed to be. That's why what used to be called Imitation flavor is now labeled with the flavor name prominently, with a tiny "artificially flavored" added. And why there is something called "non-fat Half & Half".
