| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Oct 23, 2004 Somewhat odd aroma, suprised because the head was pretty well lasting. Taste is like a watery hoppy brew with a slight tartness to the hops in the beer. Decent brew for a hot day, but it’s starting to cool down, so forget about this one for 6 months. kappldav123 (1901), Markkleeberg, Germany
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 18, 2007 A very famous beer – all pilsners are named after it. The bottle looks really good. Not as much alcohol as German pilsners. Fresh and modest spicy, not too dry – a good beer. jeffc666 (1899), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 15, 2007 I have finally decided that I can rate this beer as I am now drinking some that is not light struck and skunked, for you see it is in a can. I wish more beers came in cans. Crystal clear straw body topped by a quickly vanishing white head. The aroma is of gobs of saaz. The first sip is marked with some nice round maltiness but then the hops really go into high gear. When fresh and not skunked this stuff is great. Unfortunately it is neither fresh nor unskunked most of the time. A shame really. Go for the cans if you can find them. iowaherkeye (1895), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 10, 2006 12oz bottle, no date. Pours a clear golden with a small, quickly dissipating white head. Aroma of grain, grass, and spicy hops. Fair amount of bitterness, quite taste as well. A little corn and grain in there with some malty sweetness. Light-medium bodied, lots of carbonation. As a pilsener it’s pretty darn good, and I agree it sets the standard. I believe the lower ratings are people who just don’t like pilseners in general. emacgee (1892), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 18, 2007 Pours a standard pilsner, pale yellow with a good white head. The aroma is grassy, corn, sweet. Not much going on. The flavor is crisp and sweet, grassy too, skunky sort of. Crisp and clean on the palate. Definitely refreshing, not bad just not very good either.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 24, 2006 Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Poured golden with a thick long lasting white head, aroma of skunkiness, malt, and yeast, the taste is bitter, and malty, not bad just wasnt impressed.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 8, 2007 Bottle. Clear and gold with a small head that really doesn’t hang around too much. Big skunk aroma dissipates slowly into a sweet grain smell. Flavor is more cereal and sweet malt than the typical "imitators", and I can really taste the lemon-grass of the Saaz. Palate is slightly thick, smooth with a lot of carbonation. Body is heavier than most imitators - tending towards medium. Pretty nice for an industrial lager; maybe they really are sticking to the original recipe. Probably my least favorite beer "style", but I gotta give this one 3 extra overall points for perfectly fitting the style. Hell they created the style. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA
