Nothing at all wrong with this. Very refreshing beer with some very light maltyness backed up by a very significant bitter bite at the end. Could drink this all day long and never get sick of it.

Pours a straw colour with an average white head. Yeast and spice aroma. Sweet initially with a bitter aftertaste. Good example of the style.

Excellent lager, really enjoyed it, one of the best I have had recently. Great colour, pours well from the glass, tastes great, can’t ask for more.

Slightly orange golden colour, white head. Aroma of malt, some hops. Pine and grass. Flavour rather sweet malty, slightly bitter. Finish rather bitter. Decent pilsener. And an extra points for being the first.

The original Pilsner. Very drinkable with that classic "urine" aroma. Nothing too over powering here. It would go great with just about any food.

Excellent with kielbasa and rye bread and other beer foods, this beer pours a bright golden yellow with an oily pearly white head. It is very bubbly. Smells of hops. Goes down nicely with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Not my favorite beer, and may not be perfect by itself, but good with food and for the pure novelty of drinking the original pilsner.

UPDATED: MAY 31, 2011 Some friends brought me a 0.5 liter bottle from the original village in Czech. When opening the bottle I noticed a bit rotten smell, or some expert would call it very hoppy? Colour is yellow, but bit more orange compared to other pilseners. Taste is good but aftertaste is a bit bitter, which is not my favorite.
