4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
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.

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!
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
[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.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.

Im a sucker for a well brewed, perfectly balanced, golden lager, and this is one of the few Ive had in a while. The floral and bitter hops mix with the lager crispness perfectly. The malts are delicious and keep the hops in check. Freaking fantastic.

This was one of my favorites on tap recently at Dock Street in Philly. A very deceptive brew, it poured quintessential pilsener with a golden body and white head. Flavor profile is eye-opening, ripping exotic fruit and spice with a dry hoppy finish. I’m guessing they have refined the recipe at Dock Street since this beer was entered because it is way underrated.
