Just average, really. Better than many other industrial pilsners. But no aroma, and just above average pilsner taste.

Sheffee (18) - Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA - JUN 18, 2013
Bottle sample. Cereal malt and grassy hops on the nose. Clean, fresh palate with with balancing, spicy and grassy hop bitterness. Short and cleansing finish. Great beer.

Really? It's considered one of the best lagers in the world? Tastes like every other Bud. Okay and a disappointment because of that. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

bonkiedeaap (46) - Leerdam, NETHERLANDS - JUN 14, 2013
Bought a bottle at Bert’s Bierhuis. Has a blond color and a large white head, which stays long and is highly carbonated. Aroma of gras, hops and citrus fruits. Has a mild and well balanced taste with a little sweetness at the end. Has a dry and light bitter aftertaste. A very good pilsner, just as good as Pilsner Urquell.

jmgreenuk (1374) - The Hague, NETHERLANDS - JUN 10, 2013
Can at Vienna Airport. The aroma is weak yeast and malt. A typical pilsner. The flavour is medium bitter with nicely hopped palate and a little malt. The bitter finish lasts forever. As far as pilsners go, it’s one of the best.

humlelala (716) - DENMARK - JUN 10, 2013
(33 cl bottle at Café Kildevćld in October 2011) Pours a clear straw yellow with white, quickly dissipating head. The aroma is the classical czech mix of malt and hops. Refreshing but perhaps a faint skunky whiff. Fizzy carbination, medium-bodied with oily texture and an abrupt finish. Taste is mildly bitter for a hophead like me with a delectable malty backbone. Decent refreshment beer.

Moebbels (44) - FINLAND - JUN 9, 2013
Pours a clear golden color. Head is clean and white, reducing quickly to a thin layer. Nose is sweet with malts and some hops. Taste is crisp, clean and refreshing. Palate is lively with lots of small bubbles. A nice and refreshing drink for summer times.

Minimal white head, golden color, large bubbles, neutral aroma. Sweet, creamy taste, vibrant bitter aftertaste. Too fizzy for me. Not bad.
