Feb 2, 2007 Updated: Nov 2, 2007re-rate: koutland might be a bit of a dump but i can’t help but keep going back for this stuff, often just with some PET bottles in hand which they dutifully fill. anyways, this gets better every time i drink it, so balanced, so bitter, an amazing splotchy head, the perfect beer, as far as i’m concerned. on tap at U Škodovky in pilsen. utterly still amber colour - looks like honey, big and frothy off-white head that refused to go away. fresh saaz aroma - grassy, faintly minty, hugely buttery texture reminiscent of krakonos, decent bitterness, lightly metallic but in a good way, classy stuff from a very exciting brewery

Jan 31, 2008 Draught at Koutland, Pilsen. Deep golden coloured. Rather big aroma with plenty of floral Saazer hops and freshly baked bread. Also some nice eggy notes in the background. The flavour is sweet and bready at first, then it becomes more and more hoppy. The hops never overpower the nice maltiness though. The finish is dry with a lingering hop bitterness. Chewy mouthfeel. Perfectly balanced. One of very few beers I could never get tired of. Truly a world class brew.

Oct 6, 2007 Updated: Dec 9, 2007On tap (Koutland, Pilsen): Deep golden, extremely long-lasting, almost off-white head, full oaky-resinous hoppy nose with a solid sweet-malty background, full aromatic-bitter and sweet flavour, medium bodied, robust malty base, lingering hoppy finish, the umbels stick to the palate. Beautiful, the archtypal Bohemian Pilsener.......

May 11, 2007 Draught@Koutland, Plzen. Pretty much the perfect Bohemian Pilsner for me. Probably a touch more hoppy and floral than your average Bohemian, but just so well balanced and unbelievably more-ish. Some nice apricot fruit notes, grassy and as mentioned quite buttery (but not in a diacetyl-y sort of way). Finish is softly bitter, perfectly bitter, makes you want another sip and another. Wow.
