On tap at Dock Street. Clear olive yellow with a white head. Nose is apple, grass and grain. Crisp and clean medium light with a dry finish. Taste is apple juice, lemon zest, grass and paper. Solid pilsner with perfumy hints.

Relatively clear golden body. Thin white head, soapy lacing. Nose is gentle with citric and grassy Euro hops. Taste is similar but shows increased grainy presence, more hop spice as well. Light bodied, assertive carbonation, a little thin in parts, but a clean refreshing finish. Good effort, but doesn’t live up to the other pilseners available fresh in Philly, especially Victory’s Prima and Braumeister series pilseners.

Fairly fruity pils arom. Pale gold with a thin white head. Decently hoppy and dry...a nice pils.

Hazy gold, huge citrussy juicy noble hop aroma. Sweet malty taste - as a Czech Pilsener should have - fairly bitter, honeyish malt, big Saaz hops in the finish with a near-perfect malt and bitterness balance. This actually does taste like a quality Czech brew and full marks for the effort; stunningly drinkable and true to style.

Cloudy straw yellow pour almost wit like with a foamy and rocky white head light lacing .... aroma is floral saaz hops and sweet malts .... taste is sweet malts little fruity lemon and floral saaz hops lightly bready with a decent spicy hop kick to it .... dry bitter hop finish .... a tasty pils very sessionable

Draft at CAH 4Q 10. Pours hazy canary with 1-finger white head. Nose is pale malt, floral, spicy, hoppy. Tastes rich, smooth, not super tart, but with a nice mix of spice, florals, hops, and mild chardonnay notes.

Golden with a white head. Aroma was pretty hoppy for a pils- floral, grassy, light biscuit malts, too. Flavor was along the same lines. Nice bitter floral notes, herbal/grassy hops, biscuit malt. Finish has a nice bitterness on it. A pretty solid brew and easily sessionable.

Perhaps the closest and truest to style for Czech style Pilsner. Beautiful golden straw color. Floral bouquet with a touch of apple in the nose. Soft, fine carbonation. Perfect combination of malts and hops. Slightly sweet and nutty with a nice spicy, grassy hop finish that is quite complimentary to the this complex and impressive Pilsner!

[Draft @ EB+B] Golden color with a small, white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of toasted dough, toffee, nuts, grass, and citrus fruits. Taste of much of the same, doughy, nutty, toffee, and grass, and low bitterness.

nice honey-golden color and a thick foamy white head...soapy lacing. sweet pilsner malt aroma with some spicy hops and a hint of citrus. malty flavor up front is a tad sweet and is followed up by some grassy, earthy hops. finish is crisp and dry and mouthfeel is slightly oily. nice drinkable pilsner.
