m4rest88 (216), Beverly Hills, California, USA Jan 31, 2009 Pours with a dark golden hue with no head whatsoever. Hue is pretty clear - some carbonation bubbles but not much.
Aroma is of fruits, hops, and yeast. There is a slight barley note, that comes in pretty strong.
Flavor has a bready beginning, and a slightly hoppy ending - Saaz Hops in particular - really good flavored beer.
Medium mouth feel with light carbonation. Gary (352), Buckinghamshire, England Jan 31, 2009 I think I prefer North German Pilseners ,to Czech ones. Ive tried only a handful of each, but the krauts versions have been more to my liking. Get this beer draught or canned..the green bottles are skunky and devoied of anything aromatic,and that sucks . Nice Saaz hops..biscuty malt -flowers and Horticultureism in there. Its alright . ilherps (212), Carbondale, Illinois, USA Jan 31, 2009 Hmmm. Maybe not all beer in green bottles is bad. This one had some very nice hoppy notes to it, along with some nice citrus notes. I was pleased with what I found in this beer. Brewkowski (6), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA does not count Jan 29, 2009 I was pleasantly surprised by this pilsner. The bottle is completely unassuming, with mediocre design and green glass. I was expecting an average European beer with a funk to it. Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pilsner glass. Yellow body, with a slight head. Smells slightly skunky, with grass and malt aromas. The taste, however, is anything but skunky. Extremly smooth, refreshing beer. Light malt taste with a hint of hops bitterness at the end that warms the mouth rather than biting. Fantastic pilsner. I will be buying in the future. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA Jan 29, 2009 Golden yellow in color with a medium sized white head. Aroma is of light strawor grass and malts. Light malt snd grain taste with light hops. TheJollyOne (203), Kofu, Japan Jan 28, 2009 warm yellow body under an average head. Smell of string grasses and flowers. Wonderful soft malt taste, dry and hoopy but not sharp. Slightly bitter finish. Beautiful. Palate watery and only a touch fizzy. Nice to go with an original for my 100th rating. tarheels86 (703), Washington DC, USA Jan 28, 2009 330 mL. This is probably right in between a crappy beer and a good beer...it is a diving line between two beer realms. Pours a clear light yellow with a white head that disappears. Aroma of cereal grain, Saaz hops, skunky pale malt. Taste is watery up front and then turns surprisingly bitter and dry from the Saaz hops to the point of almost being metallic. I like the sharp bite in this beer and is a good bar choice when nothing else is on tap. vomit (65), USA Jan 27, 2009 Updated: Apr 22, 2009Holy smokes!!!! This must be Blatz’ long lost European cousin. Nice flavor, distint hops aroma. I could see getting lit up like an Xmas tree on this, and then passing out on the neighbors lawn. But, why oh why would ANYONE put beer into green bottles? Especially the Czechs! They should be ashamed.
