2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
12oz bottle. Rating #2324. Light hold pour with a little white head. Skunky aroma with some light hops and crisp maltiness. Flavor had some bite, a little oxidized and an underlying clean maltiness. (1471)
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Monk’s Table. Pours a clear golden yellow with modest-sized white head. Aroma is quite bready with a pleasant grassiness. Taste is also quite bready with a bit of fruity sweetness. Modest grassy bitterness in the crisp finish. Fairly fizzy carbonation. A nice pilsener.
3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear gold with a small white head. Stringy lacing. The aroma is very doughy, with some potent Saaz hops. The flavor is grainy pils malt with strong, grassy hop bitterness. Well balanced and very refreshing. Light body with soft, fizzy carbonation. Great pils.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Apperance: Pours a translucent golden yellow with a medium, frothy head. Aroma: Smells sweetly of hops. Not much else. Palate: Smooth, but not watery. Taste: Quite bitter, but also sweet. Pleasurably bitter finish. One of the few pilsners I actually enjoy.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear golden with a nice little white head that actually laces. Really clean aroma of bread, hay, some earthiness and floral hops. It tastes slightly sweet, with distinct hop presence, though bitterness is low; a very well balanced beer. It definitely tastes like a beer made from the right ingredients. It’s not thick, but it’s not watery either. Crisp, with a slight bitter finish, and very good amongst any kind of pale lager.
4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Stiil the best Pisener Ive ever tasted. Over twenty years, Ive never experienced a drop in quality. I think what sets it apart from other pilseners is the delightful complexity of the beer. Its the exact opposite of bland. Theres a floral presence in the hops, which combined with subtle hints of citrus in the finish, provides a lasting, pleasant aftertaste. I always take this beer with me to Kruger Park in South Africa. At the end of a long, hot Afican day, theres absolutely nothing to touch an ice-cold, slender glass of Pilsner Urquell. It even surpasses a great G&T!
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
500ml bottle from Partridges in Chelsea. Pours golden yellow, well carbonated with foamy off-white head. Nose; dominant hay/grass and some citrus. Taste; velvety mouthfeel, grassy, slight lemon, smooth, crisp but a bit weak. As lagers go its pretty good (i.e. better than fosters), but not for me.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Not too bad. Has a decent amount of flavor. Its a little strong, but clean crisp acidic and smells like bready, alcohol. Finishes decent, overall a good selection, especially if youre in Czech when sipping
