But i’ll usually drink this one from the tap. sarafist (8), Oregon, USA does not count | 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 18, 2004 Updated: Oct 26, 2004Mildly sweet, but with a dry, hoppy finish. Good head. Floral aroma. Simply the ultimate pilsner. scotty (838), Scotland

Deep golden head with a respectable thick white head. Absolutely bursting with attractive hoppy/fruity aromas,soft malt coming through in the background. A medium bodied brew, with an amazing array of complex flavours...malty& fruity...fantastic.There is a sweetish malty finish combined with a citrus hoppiness. It’s been a while since I tasted this as I felt it had lost some of it’s character, I may have been wrong then,but this has got me hooked again! Superb Kingsley (26), San Diego, California, USA

Unusually full-bodied for the style. Excellent crisp hop finish balanced by the maltiness. The best pilsner I’ve ever had, and I’ve tried many. mustangjoe (172), redondo beach, California, USA

The floral hops certainly come through. I had been looking forward to trying this one and I wasn’t disappointed. I really enjoyed this pilsener and wished I’d had more than one bottle at the time.
Re-rate: Now having tried it on tap, I love it even more. At least for right now, it’s what I order if it’s available. Just a terrific beer. blackgrendel (1), Australia does not count | 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Jan 3, 2006 One of the first beers that I have fallen in love with. Great hoppy malt flavour with a dry bitterness at the end of a gulp that leaves your mouth crisp and clean. A very subtle but very real sweetness after taste that leaves you loving and wanting more of this wonderful stuff. I might be new to this beer rating stuff but I knows what I like...I love this beer!!

Great color, nice pour. Very enjoyable. coldbrewky (742), Saugerties, New York, USA

This was the one that helped the world turn for me in 1992 when I lived there. I purposly had not rated it since I knew I was returning for this years Beer trip. It was certainly worth the wait for me. A beautiful gold with hops and wet straw in the nose. Saaz all around. Sweet upront ans a bit of earth in the body. A mellow rounded finish makes you say Prosim ! Pet Piva! (that’s please....five more beers) well worty the trip even though I can get a slightly lesser product at the local. It is my sturdy belief that this beer is of the perfect alcohol content and body. If anyone in the world can stand up from the table after having only one of these msuberbly crafted brews and steadfastly not desire another....they shoud be up against the wall instantly and shot for their disrespect to the brewing arts. While the unfiltered at the brewery tap surpasses the bottled export version, the common is no sl;ouch fpr thirst quenching and satisfaction.
