This is what a light lager should taste like. Crisp and refreshing. It’s the gateway beer in my opinion, or at least it was for me. Once people have this, they should stop drinking all the american macro shit.

Give me a Sausage on Toast and a big bottle of Bud for 65k --- never go to McDonald’s again.

Another winner from the Czechs. A lot better than Pilsener Urquell. Overly dry tasting at times I find though.

Tried both in bottle and on tap in the CR. Decent beer with peppery overtones. Not as full-bodied as I expected or would have preferred. Very dry. It will pair well with food.

Bottle. Light gold with ample head. Medium carbonation. Grassy aroma. Refreshing medium bodied. Well balanced. Not bitter - leans to the sweet side a bit. Easy to drink.

Clear and light in colour. Budvar is a very easy drinker. Nice fluffy head with a slight malty taste and a grassy aftertaste.

Crisp clear golden color. Slight head, some lacing. Smells like a pilsner- graqssy, even slightly pungent, sulfury. Taste matches- clean,tones of grass, it’s got that pilsner "skunk" (not to be meant as a negative)- but it’s not overpowering. I prefer this in a pilsner. Not as dry as others, but dry enough. Carbonation is nice. Some bitterness. Nice to sit back and put a few away in the summer."
