2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottled. A dark golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of metal, malt, and a bit of straw, leading to a dry, metallic, and bitter finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clean, light malt aroma. Maybe a touch of peach? Gold color with dusty motes (lightly filtered?), and a decent white head that went quickly away. Starts with a light malt sweetness that is almost immediately balanced by hop. The finish is lightly bitter. Arguably a light pilsener. Beats standard American large batch lagers by a lot. Beats standard large batch Mexican lagers by a lot. It’s not Pilsner Urquell, but it will do.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle: Light misty yellow color, light white head, no lacing. Nose of light husky pale malt, sweet light hops and soap. The flavor has a large malt and hop flavor, but it’s also bright with husk and a bit of malt liquor sweetness. Corn? Finishes light, thin, average.

Actually not a bad Bohemian Pilsener. It pours a bubbling yellow-gold body with a modest head, and I was initially apprehensive that I was in for one more bad pale lager. As promised, no adjuncts are detectable in the nose, and although the floral/grassy hops could have been stronger, they rested nicely an a sweet, slightly grainy malt. The hop bitterness is more pronounced in the flavor and crisp finish. Malts weren’t bad, either. A good warm weather drink. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

2.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle (12oz). Pale, bright, oily gold with a small frothy white head, some small bubbles. Smells like peach and orange marmalade, orange zest and ginger, sweet lightly toasted caramel malt, maybe a hint of wet newsprint. Taste is harsh, like stale hop oil, burnt candied fruit and plastic. Thin body yet I almost had to choke it down - flat, harsh aftertaste - nah thanks.

On Tap @ the Liar’s Club. Clear yellow with bright white head. Sweet malts in the aroma with some sugar. A surprisingly crisp hop flavor to go along with the sweet malts. Nice summer brew alternative to macro garbage “beer.”
