Nice pilsner. Respects the czech genre. Bitter and sweet hoppiness. Light bodied and really refreshing.

On tap at the brewpub. Golden yellow color with a thick white head. Pleasant soft spice , hops and citrus aroma, taste is refreshing and fruity (agrumes). Of course a little watery and not too complex, but a good pils overall.

Sampled draught at the Mondial, Montreal (May 2007). Clear bright gold with just a whisper of white lasting creamy head....grainy-sweet, malty aroma, perhaps a touch skunky/catty at first, light somewhat stale hop touches....not enough malt in the body for sure, thin and rather watery, decent grassy hop traits especially towards the quite sharp, bitter finish....just a bit cardboardy and dull overall.

Sampled at the mondial, golden yellow color, with frothy white head, fruity pale malt nose, with a nice flowery citrus hop accent, with a fresh cut hay, with a hint of grapefruit fruitiness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a nice citrusy floral hop character, some sweet pale malts, with a yeast bubblegum, remendering me of Konig pilsener the german beer, with some fresh cut straws and hop grassiness accents, leading towards a fruity citrusy hop bittering finish. A very good beer, thanks again Pascal.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JAN 30, 2008 Almost clear blonde body with a very small white head. Well put-together typical classic german pilsner. medium malt density with some honey flavour, dry herbal hops, lots of small bubbles. Overall it offers a medium crispness and an excellent honey/hops balance. Nice beer. Exactly what you expect from a classic german pils. As truthful to the style as a unshaved Unix system admin wearing shorts, brown socks white sneakers.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
My Bottom Line:
Spicy, citrusy hops frolicking in a humid haystack; this is my idea of a summer beer.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A sheet of foam decorates the pale gold.
-The finish is hop spicy as well, providing a fair share of bitterness.
-A little sulphur roams nearby.
-The pale maltiness could have been crisper.
-This is a well-brewed, clean, drinkable and flavorful Pilsener; nothing more, nothing less.
On tap at the Mondial de la Bière.
