Used to be my favourite a couple of years back, a typical pilsner with fresh spicy zatec hop softened a bit with some very moderate malty taste. This time it comes with a thick foamy head that smells lightly grassy and a bit breadlike. The foam tastes mildly bitter. Colour is golden pale as a pilsner should be, the taste is again dominantly bitter, but not as wild as an American IPA. There is some spicy, dry character, and a long bitter afertaste. Bread is also present. Carbonation is a perhaps a bit too heavy, especially in the beginning: botle effect, I guess, must be much better on tap. HGB or not, this is still a very good beer. 0.5 bottle from Csakajosor.hu.

grass, little resin, some spruce, and refreshing hop long lasting on finish. Malt is toasty cereal. bit earthy, golden and bit hazy. Frothy head and medium body that leaves a pleasant bitter hop and malt soft carb by looks but has a nice bite in the mouth. Good stuff!

Pours yellow with a large white head. Aroma is malt, grass, grain and earthy. Flavour is malt, grass, dms and grain.

Pours a clear and golden beer with a white head. The aroma is malt, DMS, grain and hops with dirt and grass. The flavor follows the nose. The palate is dry with sweetness and some bitterness. Overall a beer below average.

Die Schaumkrone dieses Tschechens hält mittelmäßig, im Geschmack ist es hopfig und malzig, im Nachgeschmack dazu leicht herb, ordentlich! Fazit: Gut trinkbar! Test vom 24.4.2009, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,11,10,11,10,11 - 10,60
