HughConway (364), Alabama, USA Aug 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear and golden. Slight hop aroma. Taste is bitter, clear, refreshing. Fine beer, especially for SAB we’ll crush all in our path Miller. rjones1976 (2), Runnemede, New Jersey, USA does not count Aug 14, 2008 Slight bitterness, crisp and clean after taste. Light blond color with a typical pilsner head. everettvh (34), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Aug 13, 2008 12 oz. bottle. A beautiful dark yellow/golden colour, with a white head that quickly disappeared. No lacing. Aroma was grass, yeast with a hint of pine. Taste was crisp and clean, slightly bitter with a hops finish. A great pilsener, especially compared to it’s watered down macro grandchildren. Block (363), West Lafayette, Indiana, USA Aug 13, 2008 Golden color with white head which disappears very quickly. Aroma of hops and skunk. Light flavor and body with a minimal hop and bread finish. cgreb (173), Marburg, Germany Aug 12, 2008 on tap - Yellow golden beer with big white head. Slight hops aroma. Nice hops aroma with a slight bitterness. futre7 (10), Taipei, Taiwan Aug 11, 2008 Czech beer is the best in the world bar none, its so consistant. The beer is a true great pilsner . Hoppy aroma, good colour. Good balance of biterness and malt , its slightly skunky , but thats what sets euro lagers apart from generic beers. I agree with one of the guys tho there are better czech beers but my memory may fail me as to how they compare , I remember Zamek and staropramen being better. JoeZasada (133), Beaumont, Alberta, Canada Aug 11, 2008 A really good pilsner lager. light, but not "watered down" like most american macros. Slightly sweet, slightly malty, slightly hopped, slightly dry.... more hops than budvar and really smooth. EFC1878 (291), Manchester, Greater Manchester, England Aug 9, 2008 Bottle. Darker gold/yellow than most of the genre with a white head that vanishes almost immediately. Decent malty aroma with hoppy overtones. Initially slightly cloying sweetness resolves to an excellent dry bitterness. Full bodied on the palate. A good all-rounder but not the flawless gem it’s purported to be. There are much better Czech pilsners out there.
