Slightly hazy orange colour with a very thick white head. Smells of malt, lemons, yeast and a bit of some low a.a. hops. Medium-bodied; Strong flavour, primarily malt and a metallic twang, but fairly nice. Aftertaste subtle: a small showing of some sweetness as well as a bit of hops. Not a bad beer, strong flavours, just not the most complex. I bought this twelve ounce bottle from Total Wine in Chantilly, Virginia and sampled it on 19-September-2003.

Bottled. Deep golden with rich head. Grassy nose. Dry and very bready. Very clean malt profile, and some crystal malt reveals it's American origin. Long grassy, really bitter finish. A good, credible pils, but lacks the crispness of the top Franconian pilseners, and the aromatic, oily butterscotchyness of the finest Czech examples.

Copper colour. Rich saaz vs. caramel nose. Slightly fruity flavours. Long, balanced bitterness. One of the more authentic imitations of a Czech pilsner (not Urquell or Budvar either, but it it reminiscent of some of the lesser-known brands).

Dark amber. Sweet malt, a bit yeast. Nice full long aftertaste............

A bit dark for a pils. Nice almost medium body, with good head. I found it rather dry, like a North German pils. Quite drinkable. An excellent choice for a pils.
