Gold with thin white head. Grassy aroma. Malt forward taste with a good bitter, not citrus bitter edge. Pilsy finish. I will seek this out again.

Hazy, straw. Thin head. Sort of a grassy, cabbagey aroma...a bit intense on the sulphur. It has a modest bitterness, fairly generic sweet malts, with a light, green, slightly sulphury hop note. Ok, some good elements, but also a little sloppy.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Special Brews. A really refreshing pils here. Really enjoyable brew. Golden pour, has plenty of haze to it, making it a bit unique within the style. Some straw and biscuit like malt aroma. Thicker body to this pils, some sweet-ish grains, cracker grain, a lemon like hint in the finish. It's cool on the taste. Solid offering when you just want to crush a cold, tasty brew.

16 oz can. Aroma is grassy, chalky, lemony, biscuity. Pours lightly hazy golden with a two finger off-white head with great retention. Taste is a little sweet, moderately bitter. A tad thin. Not bad.

First of all the can was frozen so my score is skewed. The beer went totally flat unfortunately. I can tell what it kind of used to be and that seems to have been a traditional Czech lager and was probably pretty good but that's about as far as I can go.
