A bit dark in colour for a pilsener, grains on the aroma and taste, nothing special and a little too sweet for me to like it.

Solid enough (I guess). There’s a layer of sweetness through the palate that I can’t quite place - a bit macro and silly - but it sharpens a touch on the finish. Not particularly hoppy or bitter but I guess Pilsners can have a wide interpretation re style.

Pale golden color. Grassy nose, a touch of biscuit in the body with excellent amount of hops to balance things out. Moderately aggressive bitter finish. Nice.

Good depth with a orange rusty tinge. Sweet but with flatness in the end. Very drinkable.

Bottle. Somewhat dirty amber with a medium white head. High bead. Aroma has some honey and grain and an odd hop note for a pils - some earth and spice but also some grapefruit and resin. Taste has some sweet and quite fruity caramel with a rather citrus and resin bitterness. Not very pils-like at all (I would have guessed this an APA) - it’s rather sweet and the hops whilst prominent in the smell don’t lend enough bitterness. But it’s rather tasty.

330ml bottle. Huge deep head forms when poured into the glass. Dirty white and sits for a while. Clean honey colour with some citrus notes coming through. Fills the mouth and leaves a medicinal aftertaste. Not quite unpleasant.

Bottle. Pours a golden amber with rocky white head. Disappears pretty quickly leaving some lacing. Clean aromas of sweet biscuity malt and fresh grass. Nice but a little too subtle. Flavour is initial quite sweet followed by hop bitterness on the finish. Nice beer

White snowy head and plenty of it light gold coloured pilsener aroma citrusy grain fairly crisp Czech like corn hint flavour good hop taste citrus mild bitter a sweet malt comes through grainy corn smooth crisp hop finish very likeable pils

Pours amber with a small head. Nose shows sweet floral noble hops with sweet biscuity malt in the background. Quite authentic, very pleasant. Flavours are very similar, but too sweet for a pilsner. Lots of honey notes. Not really refreshing, rather cloying. Too muuch carbonation. Mind you, at least that dries it out a little.
