UPDATED: JUN 23, 2008 This is a really nice, tasty,. full-bodied Czech pilsner. It is dark gold, very faintly hazy, with a medium, off-white head steadily shrinking to a thin top with a little lace. The aroma is malty grain with a bit of breas, lemon, sulphur, pine, honey, and hay. The taste is herbal hay, grain, honey, bread, lemon. it has a spritxy feel inear the finish and is a bit sweet with a lightly dominant, complex bitterness. It’s extremely tasty and fullbodied yet very easy to drink.

500ml Bottle: Aroma of malt, grain, and caramel. Poured amber in color with a tiny, off-white head that barely lasted around the edges. Clear. Lightly sparkling. A few medium-sized particles are present. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of malt, caramel, grain, and toasting. Medium body. Lightly dry texture. Average carbonation. Malt, grain, caramel, toast finish.

Bottled pours amber yellow with a small white head. Aromas of grass hay and honey. Sweet and sourness. Tastes like a tin can. That is what lingers. Not a good beerclove,

Bottle pours a clear pale golden/amber with a small white head. Aroma is sweet malts and yeast, caramel, honey, and slight hops under there. Wow this is sweet, taste like someone poured straight honey into a weak Pils.

Bottle shared by atom. Clear, golden straw color with a small white head. Did I say head? After finishing typing I now only have a couple of bubbles and a ring around the glass. Sweet aroma that reminds me of honey on slightly burnt toast. HOLY SHIT DID YOU SEE THAT CATCH BY NELSON ROSARIO?!?!?! I eat peanut butter toast with honey a lot, so maybe I just love that aroma. Oh my god... that is really sweet tasting. Honey, bread, more sweet sugar. Nope... I don’t like that sweetness. I just can’t drink that much of this. The sweetness is overpowering.

500 ml. Clear golden-topaz with a lasting pillowy head. Nose is plastic, honey, dry grass, light apple and grain. Flavor is honey, dry grass, and a light citrus bite on the finish. Almost-medium body is tingly and a bit sweetish, but well-balanced.

Crystal clear golden color with lasting ivory foam. Nice yeasty white bread, pale malt, dry spice, black pepper aromas. Light bodied with soft co2. Good dusty pale malt, spicy hop, salty, black pepper flavors, easy crisp finish.

NOT A DOPPELBOCK, rather it is a bastard child of who knows what. Not a pilsener either.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Poured a clear, piss-yellow body with some lingering head. Aroma is slightly grassy, lemon zest and light sweetness. Flavor is medium sweet, grassy hops and something I can’t read. Medium mouthfeel with active carbonation.

Definitely on the sweet malty side. Mostly fruit and a finish that is reminiscent of melon. Beautiful gold pour with a thick, structures beige/white head. Nice lacing, too. Thin and bland on the tongue.

(500ml bottle) Pours a clear yellow body with a medium white head. Aroma of toasted grain, caramel, and cereal. Flavor of caramel, toasted grain, and light butterscotch.
