3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 OleR (3510) - Oslo, NORWAY - JAN 31, 2012
0.5L bottle bought @Pivoňka, Hradec Králové. Brilliant pilsner golden body. Dense, shiny white head. Crisp pale malts, grassy hops, and a faint acidic-sweet fruit tone on the nose. Taste is on the bitter side of bitter-sweet. Medium malt body, clean and grainy. Feels full and quite oily in the mouth. Mild bitterness linger in the finish. A rock solid Bohemian Pilsner.

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 3fourths (6218) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - DEC 18, 2011
draft. unfiltered. mild skunky must, armpit oil / bacteria and yeast-heavy buttered nose. prickly acid and rough malt with equally rough carb don’t present the beer well at all. tart weizen-like yeast presence is very neutralizing, and the fizzy and thin body combined with rough malt texture are unpleasant. lacks refinement and is brash even in small amounts.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 JorisPPattyn (6428) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - DEC 10, 2011
Deep-golden, clear beer with small white head. Dough, milkripe grains’ nose, even some chaff; ending on H˛S-like sulphur notes. Dry, quite hoppy, with a point of sulphur (especially retronasal), that is not offf-putting anymore. Dry malts and obviously good hops. Light body, undercarbonated. Pretty decent Czech Pilsner; pity about the overdose of sulphur in the nose. Many thanks to Honza!
