500 mL pour on tap at a restaurant in Prague on 6/5. Straw yellow pour with a pillowy white head. Sweet grainy aroma and flavor. Nothing offensive about it, but I’m just not huge on pilsners and this beer really didn’t change my mind on that. Decent, but nothing special either.

Bottled. Lovely golden colour. Strong aroma of malt and hops. Well balanced flavour with a hint of honey(?) and a dry bitter finish. The best beer that I can buy at my local cheap Indian off licence. Perfect with a summer BBQ or a curry. I drank it in the mid 80s on draght in Prague. That was alot better.

i tasted this at the brewery. it was one of the best expressions of the style that i’ve encountered. straw-gold color, appropriately carbonated, clean on the palate and wonderfully hoppy. great looks in the glass and a medium-long, typical finish.

Draught (Traveller’s Pub,Tallinn) - A rich golden colour with a white head and moderate carbonation. Grassy and citric aroma. Clean tasting and easy to drink. Well balanced with the malt and hops. Some citric notes. Refreshing.

Melhor pilsen até agora. Cheiro muito bom de lúpulo, bom mesmo. Aparęncia normal, amarelo ouro com espuma branca, mas a aparęncia ganha mesmo na garrafa, muito bonita. Densa e com gosto de lúpulo bom. Muito agradável. Suave sabor de especiarias. amargor bem balanceado.

I know it’s not a A-B Budweiser and all but IMO, it’s not that much better than it. I’m not a Pilsener guy so that’s probably part of it right there. Poured golden yellow from a green bottle with a medium white head that went away fast. Green bottle skunk overpowers the aroma, along with grassy and perhaps saaz hops. Taste is watery and crisp with an astringent light hop finish. Mostly malted with some corn adjuncts in there as well.

The aroma is of spicy/grassy hops with a small bit of delicate malt. The beer pours a nice clear golden color, and maintains a decent head. The flavor is nice, once again dominated by hop bitterness, however without allowing some nice delicate malt flavor. The flavors are strongly bitter and peppery.

330ml bottle. Easy to drink pilsener with fruity aroma and grassy hop flavour. Nice and refreshing.
