I could find a creamy and fruity aroma when it wasn’t too cold anymore. janir (215), Oulu, Finland
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 5, 2008 (Bottled). Color is clear, golden yellow. Medium white head is lacy and a bit flowery. Sweet malty aroma is smoothly buttery and grassy hoppy. Flavor is buttery, grassy hoppyness balances beer nicely. Aftertaste is quite long. Medium-bodied and a smoothly carbonated oily palate. noid1985 (52), Broadview, Illinois, USA

Total score for Polish version is 3.1
Bottle green 500 ml- PL,330 ml- CZExtract of wort: PL- 11,8%, CZ- 12,0
Appearance:Pours deep but still bright golden, clear, shiny to amber colour. Head is initially frothy and medium, decreasing to a minute froth on the beer surface, not much lacing only some traces, the Polish version is surprisingly a bit deeper and darker in colour. Carbonation is weak but initially medium
Aroma:The Polish and Czech version are almost the same, biscquity, hoppy, a bit skunky but in a positive way, good quality sharp hoppyness, flowery, refreshing, citrusy, lemon, oily and citrusy sweetness from Moravian malts is balanced very well by Saaz hoppyness. the Polish version in aroma is more metallic and the molty character is a bit more hidden as compared to the Czech version, but the Polish one is lee skunky on the other hand and more oily as compared with more floral, bitter and a bit skunky Czech version. Alcohol is a bit more felt in the Polish one.
Flavour:Definitely I have finally discovered the difference. The Polish version is a very tasty Bohemian Pilsener but Czech one is considerably better. I have taken the first sip from the tulip with Polish one and was delighted but Czech one was better, more bisquity, grainy, fresh, citrusy, floral, with medium prefectly balanced flavour. Later on malty sweetness sticks your palate and is of better quality in Czech version. Finish is long.
Palate:Very long aftertaste, very dry, malty, grainy, texture is oliy, carbonation is soft on palate, well built in alcohol, finish feel is citrusy and chalky. mikkopen (257), Oulu, Finland

This beer should make Bud, Miller and the rest run and hide in shame. It is what a pilsner should be...pure and simple. Crisp, malt, hops all in great balance. rizk (36), central florida, USA
