Aug 24, 2008 [I don’t need to say where I got this]
Plenty of fresh czech hops in the nose together with a citrusy sulfur. Hazy caramel with a lasting clingy white foam. Excellent caramel maltiness behind a fairly assertive bitterness that seems to be more rounded in the filtered version. Tons of fresh hops flavour, but also fermentation sulfur and even some DMS. They tell me that’s it’s impossible, but I’m sure that I could detect a hint of aromatic oak in the very end as I licked my lips. Medium body and a lasting bitterness. Moderate carbonation--higher than one may expect from a cask.

Aug 9, 2008 (6/26/08) Draught at Na Parkanu in Plzen. Hazy golden with a rather big and bubbly white head. Aroma of some yeast and nice grassy hoppiness. Flavor starts a bit malty sweet with some yeastiness and finishes with good grassy hops bitterness. Medium-bodied. Very fresh and tasty. 7/4/7/4/15=3.7
(6/27/08) From an oak barrel at the brewery in Plzen. Cloudy golden with a big white head. Aroma has a lot of yeast, some oak and very nice grassy hoppiness. Sweet malty flavor with some caramel, some pleasant oakiness and a long bitter hoppy grassy finish with a little spicy hint. Medium-bodied with a rounded silky mouthfeel. Really refreshing and definitely the best Pilsener I’ve ever had. 7/4/8/5/16=4.0
