Pours a deep, clear gold with hints of orange and with a thin white head. The head seems short-lived - soon nothing tops the golden liquid, and there is no evidence of lace on the glass. The aroma is bitter and bold with earthy, almost flowery, Saaz hops. There is some lager yeast to the aroma, too. The flavor is quite quenching. Overall, it is firm and well hopped. The bitterness, however, is mellow - typical of all-Saaz Czech pilsners. There are also subtle flavors of crystal malts that lend a subtle balancing sweetness. But the sweetness is hidden. The beer is predominantly dry yet quenching, mild and Saazy. The finish is dry and earthy with hops. It isn’t nearly as strongly hopped as many American pale ales, but this seems to be brewed by what Europeans might call "hopheads" as it is much hoppier than many other pilsner beers. Overall, my favorite pilsner ever. Fantastic on a nice summer day like today (though a good hefeweizen is also an excellent choice).

Nov 10, 2009 Gilded color with elegant foam. The aroma of the famous hop Saaz, is pleasant and a few floral. The body is soft, and the bitterish splendid end. In mouth is very clean. Well balanced.

Nov 7, 2009 Pours beautiful, rich golden color with nice white head & lacing. Excellent carbonation. Aroma is yeast and hops with a slight metallic tinge. Crisp flavor that finishes clean. Was expecting something similar to Stella, but I believe this is better.

Nov 7, 2009 on tap Prague, lovely gold color very malty and creamy, aroma of sweet spice and hops. This carries over to the taste with a hoppy finish that is just biiter enough to balance it all out. The only pilsner I really like.

Oct 30, 2009 A very satisfying pilsner. Pours gold with a white head. Very skunky, grainy aroma, but the flavor pops with a nice balance of grainy malts and clean hops. A touch of sweetness adds a lot as well, but it finishes dry, as it should. Not the best pilsner, but a good, attainable, middle of the road example to which compare all others to.

Oct 24, 2009 From 12 oz bottle in a Footed Pilsner at 45°. Color is a deep gold with good carbonation and a nice white head. Aroma is like skunky creamed corn. Starting with a bolder light body it goes down smooth with a fizzy feel. Finish of grain with a little hop flavor showing and a bold bitterness. After taste is clean with a dry bitterness lingering on. Overall its just ok, bitterness stands out better then most Pilsners I’ve had.
