Pale golden color, nice foamy white head, some lace that lasts. The aroma is mostly grassy with some hop notes. The body contains a nice crisp hop bitterness that carries on well into the palate. Some grassiness as well. A nice pils.

Not half bad. It's a pilsener. I no say more.

Good Pils if you like it bitter.

Hoppy--almost thought I had a Budvar (er, Czechvar--don't sue me Anheuser Busch!) but the color was pretty pale and the hoppiness didn't linger as much. A good pils.

Bottle. Light gold with a small head. Aromas are biscuit malts with citrus. Crisp and hoppy. Flavours are sweet biscuit with bitter lemon. Nutty, clean hops. Dry on the finish. Refreshing.

A tough beer to rate. It runs almost directly average to its style. It has a light-to-moderate bitterness, some grassy-herbal hop notes and faint bready malts, both in flavour and aroma. It’s clean, slightly erring to the dry side in the finish. It’s not especially assertive, but nor is it especially mellow. It doesn’t seem to have a particular niche to my tastes.

Clear golden coloured. Hoppy aroma. Hopbitter flavour, some grain perhaps. Perhaps because i drank it on a holiday, but i really enjoyed this one.

Admittedly, I only have limited experience with true pilsners. I did enjoy this though. It is clean, dry and hoppy. Aromas are grassy, herbacious and distinctly different from any others I’ve experienced. Crystal clear straw color with a large, white head. Great thirst-quenching ability.
