Thanks to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/View-User-18890.htm>Fukito for sending this bottle, and to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/View-User-13456.htm>sprinkle for bringing it
Regular pour, bright yellow color, probably unfiltered though. Medium white head, moderately lasting that leaves a big lace.
Aroma of german hops, Tettnanger maybe or some Saaz variety all around the place.Intense flowery and grassy character with traces of lime. Pretty much a stronger Urquell. It smells ’Bohemian’.
Flavor is bitter. Wow! It reminds me of Jever Pilsner. Grassy, herbal bitterness dominate without malty counterbalance except for some faint bready note. Hints of lemongrass, eucaliptus, leaves. Good.
Light bodied, medium carbonation. Finish is long astringent and citrusy. Herbal aftertaste. Refreshing summer beer.

May 29, 2008 Translucent gold when I had it from tap in Buenos Aires, but a little hazy in the bottle (thanks Fukito!!).
Nice combination of malt and hop aroma. Strong hoppy flavor with some maltyness to balance. The hop flavor is citric and herbal. Finish is dry. A very nice pilsen, a little stronger in hops than average (including Urquell), but very good. It was better on tap.
