fonefan (24928) - VestJylland, DENMARK - SEP 20, 2006
Bottle. Dark golden with a light coppery shade. Full of large bubbles, fine head. Wonderfull Zatec (Saaz) hop bouquet. Flavour is hop, grass, with a taste dominated by hops.

Ungstrup (23960) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - SEP 28, 2002
A golden beer with an OK head. It has an aroma of hops - and a flavor of hops, slightly bitter. Definately a good beer, but if I want a czech pilsener I rather want Urquell.

Papsoe (22987) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAY 18, 2005
(Bottle 50 cl) Incredibly beautiful full golden colour with a rather huge head. Fresh nose of barley. Lots of sweet malt and less bitternes than for instance Urquell. Velvety soft body. Having tried this on tap at the brewery assures me, that this simply must be the world’s best pilsener. No less.

yespr (22204) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - AUG 4, 2007
From tap. Pours golden yellow, slight hazy and with a white head. Aroma is classic pilsener malt with a corn note. Flavour is soft malty, slight sweet with a good bitterness into the finish. Good brew.

oh6gdx (16047) - Vasa, FINLAND - MAR 17, 2005
Tapped. Yellow/golden colour, decent white foamy head. Bready/hoppy nose with hints of grassiness. Flavour is quite hoppy with huge peak after a few seconds, the finish is quite "vegetably". Bittersweet aftertaste and leaves the mouth a bit sticky.

omhper (15956) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JAN 29, 2003
Bottled. Golden coloured, average head. Bready nose with a light touch of oily hops. Light bodied and extremely drinkable, yet firm. Balanced bitterness.

joergen (14985) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JUN 14, 2005
Draught at Ølbaren. Clear yellow coloured with a white head. Aroma of malts with notes of fruits and hops. Flavour of malts and hops with notes of brew mash. Boring !

MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - MAY 6, 2004
UPDATED: JAN 28, 2009 Beautiful head, they seem to know how to pour here in Czech Rep. Lovely aromatic, semi-sweet flavour. Can’t seem to trace much aftertaste. Nice mouthfeel. 3 3 7 3 16

Draught. Weak hoppy aroma. Clear golden colour. Stable white head. The flavour starts off quite malty. There is a good clean sweet hoppiness. The bitterness is not very high. Very drinkable. 6 3 7 3 17

Blond color. Light hay aroma. Weak body, dry, quite bitter at the end. Not what I expected.
