Style: Bohemian Pilsener

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

0.33 l bottle, from supermarket. Draught, @ Gin Factory Bucharest. Clear amber colour. Light sweet with a bitter finish. Good Pils!

12 fl. oz. bottle from a shaker. Pours a clear, lager golden color with a tall, white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is unfortunately a bit skunky - likely secondary to the stupid green bottle. Taste is very grassy. Incredibly clean and crisp, but still a lingering skunk in the finish. Great for a pils/pale lager, but still a very average beer.

33 cl. bottle @ home. Pours pale gold with a big white frothy head. A lot of hops in the taste. slighty bitter as a good pilsener should be. light dry finish leaving you wanting for more,

The embodiment of plisners...refreshin taste...unigue subtle aftertaste...nice hoppy aroma with a good balance between sweet and bitter...golden almost amber colour

Bottle in a weizen glass. Pours light gold with little white head. Hoppy And yeasty. Bitter start and finish, but mild. Light body. Easy to drink. Reminds me of kronenbourg. Tasted like what I thought it would. Burpy.

I have fond memories drinking this in a liter glass in Prague. It isn’t anything particular special if not attached to memories though. It is the founder of its style and deserves credit for that.

For those of you who have tried this from the bottle, it is unfortunately several grades below the beer that comes from a good keg in a Czech beer hall that has been tapped for only a few hours, not to mention the non-pasteurized version that you can get directly at the brewpub in Pilsen. The crispness and hoppy bitterness is in my opinion unsurpassed by any lager that I have ever tasted.

pours a nice amber color keeps the head for a long time. It has a rather bitter after taste although it is not the taste of hops. All in all, I didn’t particularly care for this brew
