A sweet bohemian pilsener. Medium yellow and clear. Has a white head, medium duration. Aroma is sweet, fruity. Flavor is moderate sweet, finish is light bitter. Texture is dry, creamy. Soft carbonation.

330ml bottle. golden in colour with a slight white head and moderate carbonation. Malty aroma with a hint of grassy hops. Flavour had some sweetish malts before a hint of hoppiness in the finish. Perfectly drinkable but not a hugely memorable lager.

Clear gold, decent head. Bit of hoppy zest on the nose, nice malty palate with a balanced bitter finish. Enjoyable.

Sampled on 5/3/2010. This Czech Pilsner pours a medium orange gold color from a 33cl bottle. Small sized white foamy head, with decent retention and nice lacing. The aroma is cereal, a touch grassy and citrusy hops. A medium to light bodied pilsner. The malts are grainy, fruity and sweet. The hops are citrusy and herbal. Nice carbonation but seems a touch flat for a pilsner. There is a slightly spiciness at the finish. Crisp and clean, light and refreshing pilsner. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Pours clear yellow with a modest white head and a cheap bar aroma. There is a crisp pilsner malt flavor with finishing hop bitterness.

(11.2oz bottle dated best by Jan 2011 thanks to ericandersnavy) very pale yellow with sparse bubbles. Nose of earthy vegetation, corn, chemicals and syrupy sweetness. Taste is very bitter and earthy, no citrus to back up the bitterness either. Really it’s just gross. Oily body.

UPDATED: SEP 9, 2011 August, 2003 Bottle. An acceptable drink of little character. Quite soft and drinkable. [2.2]
Sept, 2011 Grainy and greasy, fat malt base, Slightly sweet. Somewhat ugly. Few hops - barely noticeable - some soapy notes. This is not nice. Barely drinkable. [1.2]

Herbal, with a stale bread taste. Not really a quintessential pilsener, more of a pale lager.

Form Salling, DK. Bottled, 140511. Golden with white head. Aroma of malt and spices. Flavor with some sulfur.

0.33 l bottle, thanks Timo A! Golden color. Honeyish malt and some fruitiness (pineapple and apricot). Sweet honeyish and with some toffee and tropical fruits. Hint of paper. Fairly fruity. Tastes slightly stale.
