From Mar 2008
I had this at the Old Chicago.
It poured a clear gold with a 1 finger head of foam that receded quickly to just some spotting.
The smell was of light malty notes and a good presence of spicy hops.
The taste was pretty nice. Some sweet malt, bread, grain, that put together, placed it on the sweet side but there was some decent hop character to balance out the sweetness and made it pretty darned drinkable. It had a light mouthfeel and it finished fairly crisp and dry. I think this would make a very good beer to session on.

Bottle, 0.50l. Clear pale golden color with medium frothy white head and sparkling appearance. Aroma is grainy, grassy, herbal and a bit dusty. Taste starts light sweet grainy and citrussy, following is grassy, chalky and papery, mouthfeel is dry, while finish is moderate bitter. Light to medium body, thin creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Bitter, but boring...

Bottle, 0.5l. Clear golden pour, two finger soapy white head. Medium retention, small amount of lacing. Pleasantly fresh nose, grainy, lots of hay notes, very nice grassy character. Thin to medium body, medium carbonation. Light texture, fizzy mouthfeel. Very easy drinking, crisp and clean. Nicely balanced bittersweet taste. Aroma is quite grainy, hay, grassy hops. Peppery. Somewhat dusty. Some vague tart notes. Mildly bitter finish, medium lasting. Overall, quite good. Refreshing and nicely balanced pilsner. Drinkable and refreshing.

330ml bottle kindly shared by Per Pippin. Golden with a slight haze, pearl white head, spotty lacing. Mid-sweet pale malty nose. Taste of grainy malts, dough and a touch of dried fruits. Dry and sweet ending. Possible to drink (Shared with friends at Prestvika, Sommarøya 02.09.2016):

Bottle at home, 20/08/16. Bought from Beers of Europe. Sharp but sweet aroma. Not overly strong but tickles the nose. As to be expected, the head is initially extremely frothy and creamy. However as some legs to it and does not just fade away. Light gold, slightly bubbly. Very soft bodied and smooth. Sweet with a a trace of bitterness in the finish. Goes well with my Chicken Kiev. Pleasent. May have given it lower marks if I was in a different mood and wanting more depth.

Dobry czeski pilsner ze srednia slodowoscia i spora dawka chmielu. Zatecki to gra pierwsze skrzypce. Jest aromatycznie w smaku zywicznie i w koncowce bardzo gozko. Kolor zloty jaskrawo zolty, ze spora zdobiaca szklany pokal piana sniezno biala, do tego bardzo trwaly. Tak powinna wygladac pijalne i smaczne piwo. Bardzo gozko i wytrawnie

Pours a clear golden color, topped with a small white head, no real retention. Very gentle bready aroma with some grassy hops present. Taste is mildly sweet, quite bready with mild bitterness in the finish. Short lived aftertaste, bready bittery feel. Very light and superbly fresh feel. Very fine and drinkable.

330ml bottle into tumbler glass. Grainy malt nose. Amber beer, a few bubbles, thin head. Watery, grainy taste. Finish is smoky and grainy. Ordinary and forgettable.
