500 ml bottle, bought at Pivni Galerie, Prague. Golden colour, large lasting head. Strong fruity and flowery hops aroma, some malts in there too, faint hints of leather and camphor. Flavour is a hoppy bitter explosion from start to finish, verging on being too much, but there also is a delicate malty sweetness below which makes the bitterness acceptable. Long, bitter and dry aftertaste. Who said pilseners don’t taste of anything?

Sampled draught in Skokovy, Czech Rep. Golden colour, rich head. Light bodied with dense maltiness and notes of orange. Richly hoppy with salty, bitter finish.

A clear orange beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet with hints of sourness. The flavor is very hoppy and the end is dry, but the body is thin.

Rich copper-amber colour. Aroma is of rich chewy malts and hints of hay-like saaz, with some caramel. Malty, with a crisp hoppy accent. Qualilty pils with good balance and richness.

Sampled draught (unfiltered & unpasteurized) at Soldaten Svejk, Stockholm.
Golden colour, slightly hazy, rich firm head. Grassy hops dominate up front. Full bodied and densely malty, rich and fairly sweet. Lingerig bitter finish. Very solid.

Yellow honey color. Medium steady white head, some lace. Aroma is mostly malty, a bit metallic. Mouthfeel is malts with some bitter hops in the finish. Quite full-bodied as a lager/pilsener but nothing special.

The only 8-degree pils I've seen. Surprisngly malty for being so low in alcohol. Lovely oily saaz hop aroma. Still a bit on the thin side. Good late bitterness.

Wonderfully complex pils. Notabel oily saaz hop aroma. Light body, good bitterness. An excellent pilsener!
