CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA May 21, 2008 Pours dark golden with hardly any head. Malty nose with the same taste with a good, hoppy crispness in the finish. Not incredible, but drinkable and tasty. rcasta (470), El Salvador May 20, 2008 esta la probe en todos lados y todos los dias despues de reuniones nos echabamos las birrias y pasamos un buen rato que vale la pena bien rica phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA May 18, 2008 Pours a clear golden brown colour with a medium head. Notcieably skunky aroma with a hint of fruit. Taste is pretty grainy all the way throughout this beer. carruthm (1109), Seattle, Washington, USA May 17, 2008 Updated: Aug 12, 2008gold no head, wheaty with some dark tastes to it above the lesser pilsners. zappafan99 (462), South Carolina, USA May 15, 2008 Gold body with a quickly shrinking head. Can’t break the smell apart...yet. Thick palate for an abv of 4.4 on a see -through beer. Oily. A nice hoptitude. The taste lingers and lingers and ...lingers..until you put something else in your mouth. My version was Czech and in the evil green bottle covered by cardboard variety. $7.99 a sixer in South Carolina, worth the price for an original, maybe not so for an American of the same ilk. gfolivares (67), McAllen, Texas, USA May 15, 2008 Pours a beautiful sparkling deep gold with excellent head, and good lace retention. Sweet malty aromas with complex notes of aeromatic hops- suggestions of dusty citrus, anise, and medicinal phenols. Medium bodied with satisfying mouthfeel and effervecence. Sweet malty taste initially, but quickly gives was to a crisp, clean hop bitterness that is very appetizing. Finish is somewhat dry with suggestions of pine, herbs, wet hay, and citrus rind. An important beer for any beer reviewer to be aquainted with; knowing this beer gives interesting insights into how the "pilsner"-style beer has evolved or been interpreted around the world. Sure to remain a beloved world classic, not just because of its historic signifigance, but more importantly because of its truely superb taste. The "Beer of kings" is ten times what the "King of beer" will ever be. Kudos to the marketing team who came up with the six-pack package/box that shields the vulnerable green bottles from damaging light and prevents skunking. Try this beer with a delicate fish plate, or a sophisticated steak dish with grilled asparagus. Droptank (79), Spring, Texas, USA May 13, 2008 I was very impressed. For something that comes in a green bottle, the taste was not skunky at all. White head, light body and a little sting on the back end. I could see myself ordering this in the future. blipp (1630), Newark, New Jersey, USA May 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours gold with a white head. Malty aroma with a hint of almost herbal hops. Light, body, very crisp and refreshing. Clean malt flavor with a hop presence that shows itself in a rather short finish. Very good considering it’s wide availability.
