New Review:My old review was quite dumb, and I decided to do a rerate. Poured a golden (or dark yellow) colour with a small white head that went away fast. Quite fizzy for a moment. The nose is lemony/hoppy (Saaz I guess), with some hints of honey and malt. Not bad. The taste is nice, though not as wonderful as I once thought it was. The honeyish malt, slightly "dusty" and bready, carries the taste, which is backed by a solid dose of pleasantly bitter Saaz hops. Not as full as I once thought it was, but still a very enjoyable Pils. Also gets props for being one of the beers that got me into the world of craft beers. (+1 aroma -1 palate).Old ReviewBottled (0.5l). A very fine pilsener. Yellow colour, a fine but subtle aroma, and a smooth, pleasant taste. I envy some of my friends who tried it in Ceske Budejovice.

Dark brown with amber highlights. Sweet, syrupy demerara notes with hints of wood and molasses. A little bit on the fizzy side. Sweet, slightly earthy finish.

Clear straw-colored body, medium off-white head. Aroma of corn and grassy, lightly metallic hops. Earthy, dry leafy hops and light biscuity malt with corn flavors and a hint of cardboard. What’s the big deal?

Pours a nice yellow with a fizzzy short lasting head. Aroma is very skunky. Flavor is a hoppy citrus mix and very bitter at the end. Probably a little more flavor than a Pilsner Urquell. Not a bad over all brew once you get past the skunkyness and much better than that other beer that shares the same name.

Beautiful golden beer supporting a creamy white head. Nice nose of clean hops and malt. Smooth slightly sweet with a nice bitter finish. I haven’t had as many samples of this as i have had of Pils Urquell, but this probably should get sampled multiple times as well.

Dark golden color with lots of bubbles. Large white, rocky head that lasts for several minutes. Mild fruit aroma with malt and hops. Flavors are sweet and bitter, with corn and sugar. Heavy palate for a pils. Everything a pilsner should be.

An orange beer with no head. The aroma has dominating notes of alcohol, but also plums. The flavor is very simple with clear nots of alcohol and a good palate.

Bottle. Very nice malt aroma. Nice golden color with moderate head. Smooth malt flavor with a mild hops finish. This is by far the smoothest Czech pils I’ve tasted but hops pretty subdued.

Beautiful head, they seem to know how to pour here in Czech Rep. Lovely aromatic, semi-sweet flavour. Can’t seem to trace much aftertaste. Nice mouthfeel. 3 3 7 3 16
Draught. Weak hoppy aroma. Clear golden colour. Stable white head. The flavour starts off quite malty. There is a good clean sweet hoppiness. The bitterness is not very high. Very drinkable. 6 3 7 3 17
