A classic. Sampled many times from bottle and draught. Nice to find it in the odd place here and there in Brussels, to get a break from the ales. Refreshing, zippy, bitter, especially when fresh on tap. Can be savored or quaffed. Great with a burger. Reliable.

Aug 6, 2008 Canned version from LCBO. No skunk in this one, just a hoppy aroma to go with a golden pour topped by an off white head. An average maltly start with a nice hoppy finish, lingering biiter finish. An great Euro pils.

Aug 5, 2008 Draught, Hotel Mercure Korona, Budapest. This seemed to be the best on offer at the time and expectations were low going by what I’d tried at home in a bottle. It was Ok though and I guess this is a pretty good exponent of the genre. Crisp and clean tasting with some maltiness. Not a bad get out of jail card.

Aug 5, 2008 Good but I have to say its way over rated on here. Carbonated and decently hoppy, I think its way better than the avg European light colored stuff. I would like the American stuff to go more in this direction, but its still only something I would grab if its the best available.

Aug 3, 2008 Pours a clear golden color with a small bubbly white head that lingered throughout with a little lacing. Mild grainy malt aroma with a hint of skunk. The taste is slightly better with a decent balance of bitterness and malts. Mouthfeel is light but not watery - very crisp and clean on the palate. This is better than most Euro pilsners and is fairly drinkable.
