Draught. High and lasting off-white creamy head. Clear golden body. Sweet mild barley malt aroma. Hoppy, high carbonated, malty flavor with a long aftertaste.

Draught at Pivnice U Bileho Kone, Havlíčkův Brod.
Golden coloured, medium sized white head, bready nose. Nice fresh hoppy taste but strong and quite unpleasant metallic notes. Also slight notes of butterscotch, bitterish finish.

Draught at the Prague Beer fest, on May 22, 2009
Clear golden color, big fluffy white head. Malty, sweet, some butterscotch scent. Malty, herbal, hoppy, crispy taste. Smooth mouthfeel, medium herbal bitterenss.

Bottle (purchased anywhere in Iglau): Golden, small to mid-sized white fluffy head; shy - almost a bit toasty - malty nose with a faint metallic-hoppy tinge; quite full bodied for a beer of 4.7%, moderate malty base, quite sweet flavour; sweetish malt and some mild hops in the short finish. A bit on the sweet side, but quite O.K. ...........

(bottle, as Jezek Jedenáct, 4.7% abv) Clear, golden colour with a small foamy white head. Sweet malty, slightly bready aroma with a delicate touch of Saaz hops. Sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium to light bodied with a calm carbonation. Malty, slightly bready and buttery taste with present herbal and slightly woody hoppy accents. Sweet malty and moderately hop bitter finish. Decent Bohemian Pils (31.III.09).

Tap at my university’s students’ club. This afaik replaced Pilsner Urquell on tap. I’ve heard from someone that it was really Urquell in Jihlava kegs, but I seriously doubt it now because the kegs had the importers’ stickers that clearly said that this was the 4.7% Ježek.

This poured a nice yellow-golden colour with a medium sized thick creamy white head, very lively carbonation. A nice malty nose, with nice herbal-lemony hopiness. The taste was remarkably pleasant. A superb honey-fruity maltiness, with some pleasant background herbal hopiness that mixed with the maltiness nicely. A bit salty, and a weak weak touch of metal, but all in all, a very, very good pils. If this was really Pilsner Urquell, this was the oddest (and the best) one I’ve ever had (if it was, I’m rerating it with this review here). Anyway, deserves the high score.

bottle, 4,7% ABV. Beautiful golden yellow with large head. Full-bodied, bitter and sweet, well-balanced. Dry finish.

was pleased when the giantess served this. very soft, as you´d expect of moravian pilsner it doesn´t hit you over the head with hops but you notice them more the further you go

i’m assuming this is the 11 degree. excellent starobrno style pilsener which proves that good things can come out of jihlava. clear gold with a nice head that gradually forms icefloes. malty and buttery with peppery, quite bitter finish.
