Apr 24, 2005 Bottle: Golden colour, thin white head; malty and hoppy (hay,straw) nose; quite well rounded, fizzy; the malty taste ends in a dry, crisp, short bitterness. Not bad, but where are the noble, world famous aromatic hops of Saaz (Zatec)..........?

Aug 14, 2005 (bottle) Clear and pale golden colour with a medium foamy white head. Cookie malt aroma with hints of floral hops. Somewhat crispy mouthfeel but this one lacks a bit character compared to its Czech counterparts. Anyway it has a nice bitterhoppy finish.

Feb 21, 2005 500 ml bottle. Golden colour with a thick white head and sticky lacing. Damn green bottle is quite skunky on the pour. After 10 minutes of swirling, this mostly fades. Underneath it is a rich, malty base, caramel and toffee notes. Faint hoppy notes with a light spicy character, but bitterness is quite faint.

Jun 1, 2005 Updated: Aug 8, 2005Exact same points from the bottle and the tap.
The Lure:
Floral, wooden hops mixed to a minty sweetness present a different hop surface from the Bohemian pils than I know.
The Festivities:
A pillowy malt feel offers candied figs, anise and minty sweetness over the light citrus hop tones. Clearly brewed, mostly malty, and a very satisfying quencher.
Transcendence:
The Czech macros can do it, why not ours?

Jan 29, 2006 Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells peppery with the familiar underlying skunkiness that seems to dominate this type of beer. Tastes slightly bitter with some sweet maltiness.

Apr 15, 2008 12oz bottle, I assume it’s somewhat fresh since the best before date is May 2008. Pours clear filtered light yellow with a white head. Soft nose of clean yeast, very mild hop presence and a mostly clean and transparent malt base that’s somewhat muddled by a light corn skunk smell. Flavor isn’t watery but isn’t thick either - it isn’t crisp but isn’t oily either - and overall it just kinda tastes like nothing, the hop bitterness is very low, and whatever skunking has taken place, even though it’s mild, still takes a bit away from this. Meh.
