What can I say? Everyone’s had it and its special czech saaz hops - but it’s skunky out of the bottle if not really fresh, and much better on tap or even out of their cans.

bottle. Pours a clear golden with a white head. Nose is SKUNKY. Thank you for putting it in green bottles so it could be ruined. Grain and bread in the aroma as well. Taste is better. Bready malt and a bit sweet. Mouthfeel is thin.

UPDATED: NOV 26, 2011 Finally got myself to rate this classic at a nice summer BBQ. The aroma is grassy-lemony and hay-like, unfortunatley a bit skunked already, although I bought it pretty fresh. Fine deep golden appearance with a vanishing head. The flavour is again hoppy/lemony, even a bit fruity and resinous with classic pale malts - hay and bread. Lingering, dry finish.
Update: Great pilsner, especially when sampled next to more mediocre examples of the style. The best samples I had (like the one I’m drinking right now) were hoppy in a resinous and distinctly citric way, with a pretty strong caramel maltiness.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Crystal clear golden pour, nice head showing some persistence.
Aroma is a mix of skunk, grainy/biscuity sweet malt and noble hops.
Flavours are a bit better, with lots of bready/biscuity malt, honey, green hoppy notes and an assertive bitterness.
Med-light body with refreshing carbonation.
1.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Clear straw colored body, medium white head, and no lacing. Smells of stale gym socks with some lemon and malt. Taste has some notes of nutrasweet and a medium amount of hops. Hard to get over the offensive odor. Not completely undrinkable but probably won’t buy again, then again, I may have gotten a bad bottle.

Bottle: Pours a foamy white head fades quickly. The lacing is minimal, the aroma is similar to others of the style with typical skunking. This is a smooth and soft beer.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle 50cl. Golden beer with a medium white head. Intensive and very nice hops aroma. This pilsner has a nice body, sweet and also malt flavour. The finish is bitter and herbal, a very good beer.
