travita (1861), Frisco, Texas, USA Apr 24, 2008 Color is straw yellow with a decent fizzy white head. Taste is of malts, grains, some hops. Smell is crisp, malty, and light. Overall pretty decent. JoeinUccle (902), Brussels, Belgium Apr 24, 2008 A classic. Sampled many times from bottle and draught. Nice to find it in the odd place here and there in Brussels, to get a break from the ales. Refreshing, zippy, bitter, especially when fresh on tap. Can be savored or quaffed. Great with a burger. Reliable. calgone (17), Athens, Georgia, USA Apr 21, 2008 Bottled. Nice Saaz aroma with malty undertones. Crisp and refreshing. Very carbonated. Pretty golden color. Millerman71a (4), Superior, Wisconsin, USA does not count Apr 21, 2008 im going to say honestly one of the most disgusting beers i have ever tasted in my entrie life! austone (999), Turku; Pori, Finland Apr 21, 2008 Bottled. Beautiful deep golden. Hopped, grassy aroma with malts and light honey. Only slightly mineral. Malty and well hopped, hayish flavor. Pretty intense infact. Dry and nicely bitter finish. Medium bodied, strongly carbonated palate. A good, honest dry pils. AgentSteve (1334), SF Bay Area, California, USA Apr 20, 2008 On tap, your typical light, golden colored, thin off white head, light hoppy, more malty, with a touch of sweetness beer is easy drinking, but now that I’ve rated it, I don’t see myself ordering it again.

Classic style defining beer. For those who want to know what a pilsener probably ought to taste like, start here. <16> blackbock (34), Australia Apr 19, 2008 (bottle) Opened without much hiss. Already I can smell the signature Saazy aroma. Seemed a little undercarbed, but after pouring no worries about the head - it’s there. First taste beings a crisp, watery mouthfeel, which evolves into a melanoidin-laden finish. This is one of the clearest Pilseners you will see, and although it is a little less bitter than I seem to remember it, it is so easy to drink that it’s dangerous. No wonder this is a world famous beer.
