Appearance: clear light gold, one-finger white bubbly head, a little bit of lacing. Aroma: good blast of peppery saaz hops, some grass and hay, slightly sweet buttery crackers. Taste: white pepper, hops, grains, toasted farmhouse bread. Finish: crisp, clean and dry. Notes: A fine example of the style. Palate is light and crisp, flavors are decently balanced.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 11/20
12oz green bottle, pours with a white head, fluffy, aroma is a bit of skunk, a bit of citrus, the beer has been slightly contaminated with skunk, but I’m getting a bit of nice earthiness to it. Not too bad. Drinkable and enjoyable.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Reviewed from notes.
Pours a moderate yellow straw color with a white head and a bit of lacing. The nose is slightly grainy and a bit of hops. The taste is slightly hoppy with some grain and straw. Light and crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this drinks pretty well, and I’ll always have a soft spot as this was one of the beers that introduced me to "good" beer, as my grandpa always had this around.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours a sparkling light straw with rocky white head. Suble aromas of noble hop and bready malt. Flavours show some malt sweetness nicely balanced by hop bitterness. Great beer.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
pours a golden color with a white head. Smell: saazhop and malts. Taste is soft, with hints of vanila and a soft well balanced bitterness in the end.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Overall pretty bland but drinkable. Its not really that special in my opinion. Definitely something different if you want some green (non-twist off) bottles. Homebrewers beware there is a plastic label near the bottom that takes some scrubbing to get off, unlike the paper label type. Average beer at best, C+.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Well, chalk this one up to "how in the Christ haven’t I rated this yet?", Nearly 1100 ratings and I’m getting to Pil Urquell NOW?!?!?! Wow. Poured from a can, because fuck you and your green glass too. Pours crystal-clear honey-gold, with an orange hue. 2-finger white head is nice and rocky, but not the most persistent, the skim does stick around for a while though. Lacing is spotty to quite good. Nose is spicy, funky, earth and noble hops, a scratch of butter, and a whiff of corn. Smells lovely, but I wasn’t expecting the light butter aroma. Flavours are wonderfully earthy and nutty, some light salty honey and spicy throughout, long lingering finish that grows more funky and minerally, but never astringent. Worthy of it’s reputation.
