In 1842, our first Brewmaster Josef Groll brewed a beer unlike any other. His crisp, refreshing golden lager was made with local ingredients: sweet Moravian barley, delicately bitter Saaz hops, soft Pilsen water, and bottom-fermenting H-strain yeast. Groll named this special beer after the city where he brewed it, Pilsen, where we still brew the same beer today. Over the last 178 years, pilsner-style lager has become the world’s most popular beer, with seven out of 10 beers in the world imitating Groll’s innovation. There are many pilsner-style beers out there, but only one original.

Clear, golden colored, medium white head. Aroma is of some malt, bit buttery, light grain, moderate noble Czech hoppy, spicy, herbal, grassy. Taste is medium- sweet malt, some grain, bit buttery, medium noble herbal, spicy hops, medium bitterness, dry finish, crisp. Medium bodied, average carbonation, bit oily. Some bottles and cans are nowhere near this good but I’ll remember it as it should taste... fresh, on tap in Czech Republic. Oh, so nice! (on tap, Brutal Assault festival, Jaromer)

0.5 l can, best before September 2018. Clear, golden with a medium large, frothy, stable, white head. Slightly sweetish, slightly grassy-spicy aroma of grains, some straw and traces of citrus. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, quite grassy-spicy and minimally buttery taste of grains, straw, traces of citrus and a touch of vanilla, followed by a short, moderately bitter, quite grassy-spicy finish. Medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Way better when fresher, lots of crispy Lager goodness, still a nice brew.Old rating: 0.5 l bottle, best before August 2017. Clear, golden yellow with a medium large, dense, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy-spicy aroma of grains, straw and a touch of citrus. Sweetish, slightly grassy-spicy taste of grains, straw and some citrus, followed by a short, moderately bitter, rather grassy-spicy and a little metallic finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Disappointing, requires a rerate from a fresher bottle. (5/3/5/4/10/2.7)

Butelka. W aromacie rzeczywiscie jest chmiel, ale w trzeciej kolejnosci, schowany za skunksem i mokrym, stechlym ziarnem. Goryczka nawet srednia, ale raczej nieprzyjemna. Finisz wytrawny, calosc sprawia wrazenie nie do konca wlasciwie skomponowanej. Ble.

10-09-17 // as tank beer at Strongroom Bar & Kitchen London. So much better than from the bottle. Unfiltered golden. Smooth grainy, cereals, buttery, very smooth with a mild hop bitter finish. Great. [backlog] 26-08-15 // bottle at home. Pours a clear golden colour. Nice malty base. Some grains. Finishes with bitter herbal hops. Decent.

330 ml bottle served in flute. Golden with decent white head. Grassy and hoppy smell. Grapefruit, hay, grass, grain, bread, metal. Nice hoppy bitterness and some bready maltiness. Soft carbonated, watery texture. Very palatable, nice bitter finish. Great character for a mass produced Pils. Very nice. 3.6 Re-rating 24.12.20. 500 ml bottle. Clear dark orange golden, big fluffy head. Lots of caramel, hay, intense grassy noble Saaz hops, some metal and citrus. Metallic grassy dry bitterness. Medium bodied, oily texture, lively carbonated, dry hoppy bittersweet finish. A classic. 3.5
