Big czech hop aroma, light grass, and some good bready malts. Soft carb, good dose of czech hops in the flavor. The finish is crisp, and dry. A really decent pils, ilike the up front hops, not over powering, just perfect.

Certainly not authentic. Not much fresh hop aroma to speak of. Body and taste are acrid. Sk lb variety pack

This pils poured a nice amber colour with a big white head. Scents include citrus hops, a little yeast and leaves. First sip was smooth with flavours of citrus, tea and malt most prodominant. Finish in hoppy with a medium bitter flavour. Not bad at all...

A lightly hazed blonde pils with a thick receding off white head, lightly lacing. In aroma, fresh grainy malt with faint Czech hopping. In mouth, a smooth clean crisp biscuit malt with grassy Czech hops, lightly lingering. This one was from Piscator (Dec 2009) and, although its attenuated, its still not too bad.

Bottle from Firefly, Vancouver
Hazy golden color, small head. The aroma is very perfumy, not only malt, but also a peculiar citrusy fruitiness. Quite good malt body, with strong bitterness, rather resiny at the end, refreshing overall. Good.

Sampled at GCBF2010. Saaz aroma. Pale golden, creamy head. Light body with a great Saaz wallop. Herbal notes. Slightly too fast finish. Nice hops though.

355mL bottle, pours golden with a small head. Aroma of pale, cereal malts, a floral quality and crisp hops. Flavour is nice and crisp, like a pilsner should be - pretty standard, but solid.

Bottle: Poured a light golden yellow color lager with a super large pale white foamy head with great retention and some lacing. Aroma of Saaz hops with some nice floral malt. Taste is very refreshing with loads of dry Saaz hops presence and a nice lightly sweet malt backbone with some grassy and floral undertones. Body is average with great carbonation. Very well done and something I would like to have more often if ti was available close to my place.

Deep gold colour. Not much head but a nice sparkle. Heavy diacetyl on the nose - I know it’s part of the style but there are limits. Medium saaz and light bread. Again on the palate...just because you’re allowed diacetyl on the palate does not excuse a butterbomb! Bleh. And there’s a good beer under all this, too, which makes it all the more a shame.
