fredthecat (180), Canada Aug 20, 2009 foamy white big head with an orange-amber body, smell is mineraly, woody. it tastes like a light biscuity malt, with salty dry taste. it is full tasting and a little pleasant biteyness. the 4.4 makes me sad but its a good beer probstk (1010), Nepean, Ontario, Canada Aug 20, 2009 500 ml can from LCBO, served cold in a tulip glass.
App.: Fairly deep golden, clear with a night white froth.
Aroma: Typical Pilsener – nice grassy, wet hay, light biscuit malts, very lightly fruity.
Palate: Medium body, fairly full carbonation, somewhat smooth, slightly astringent.
Flav.: Grassy peppery Saaz hops supported by lightly fruity, toasty malts; dry with decent bitterness and a light greenish malt finish.
Nice for style...go figure. TheDoctor (27), Alberta, Canada Aug 20, 2009 Updated: Nov 5, 2009. Good beer deserving of its reputation and popularity, if not a great beer. Flavor dominated by hops and malt with some citrus as well. Great thirst quencher. MrRoss (614), Delta, British Columbia, Canada Aug 18, 2009 This chap came out of the bottle with a very nice amber colour along with the standard foamy white head, leaving a small amount of lacing. Aroma was hoppily bitter, and enjoyable to inhale. Taste was right there, and the mouthfeel was almost ’snappy’. Aftertaste also a good ’un. BigBeer45 (676), Troy, Michigan, USA Aug 18, 2009 Bottle and on tap at the Clarkston Union, I only buy this beer in 12 packs which are enclosed and shielded from light, otherwise, the beer will be skunky, pours a clear medium gold with honey gold and browns hints, has a good amount of effervescence, initially had a two to three finger high brilliant white head that recedes to a ring and cover, head was white and foamy looking, leaves some nice lacing on he glass, aroma of grass and flower hops, malt, light bread and light sweetness on the nose (if you buy single bottles or six packs the beer will be skunky because it is exposed to light), flavor of pilsner malt, light bread and some hop bitterness that trials a little after the finish, mouth feel is medium and provides some soft bitterness on the palate, great beer when it is not skunky, I heartily recommend this treat. rozsoma (43), Győr, Hungary Aug 16, 2009 what is denial? this is the king of beers, all right an a little bit too dry one drowland (1360), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Aug 15, 2009 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. MaltOMeal (642), Land of Sugar, Texas, USA Aug 12, 2009 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.
