Draught, Hotel Mercure Korona, Budapest. This seemed to be the best on offer at the time and expectations were low going by what I’d tried at home in a bottle. It was Ok though and I guess this is a pretty good exponent of the genre. Crisp and clean tasting with some maltiness. Not a bad get out of jail card.

(Draught at U Sadu, Prague, 20 July 2008) Dark brown colour with ruby hints, creamy beige head. Malty nose with full aromas of chocolate, roasted malt and caramel. Roasted, malty taste with dark rye bread, chocolate, cocoa and molasses. Full body, syrupy mouthfeel. Decent, but with an industrial feel to it and slightly too sweet.

Entered to celebrate my rating number 10,900 with a top 50 beer. Draft from the wooden barrel in the callars of the brewery. A hazy light golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of straw, malt, and citrusy notes of hops as well as hints of wood. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of straw and citrus as well as lighter notes of wood and sulpur. I am amazed how great this beer is - I had no idea a pilsner could be this great.
The unfiltered version from steel tank: An unclear dark golden beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, straw, hops, and grass. The flavor is sweetwith notes of grass, malt, and caramel, leading to a dry finish. [8/3/8/4/15=3.8]

Pours deep amber into a footed pilsner. Fluffy white head leaves sheet lacing as it slowly recedes. Skunk aromas. Crisp and malty upfront with a lasting slightly skunked hop finish.

Clear golden color, small white head. Grassy, a bit cheap hoppy nose. Medium-bodied, but mostly tasteless. Some sweet maltyness. Fizzy Eurolager, which lacks a bit on everything.

Golden color, small white head. Cheap woody hops in the nose. Very watery, not much flavors, just some cheap-tasting hops. Fizzy crap lager.

Thanks yespr and KimJ! Clear amber color, good off-white head. Nice herbal hoppy aroma, light maltyness. Starts malty then nice hoppyness. Some caramelly malty notes. Ok beer, but would propably prefer unfiltered version of this.

Bottle. Clear pale amber with no head. Pleasant hoppy aroma. Light body, well carbonated. Lovely flavour starting with sweet malt shifting rapidly to a long pleasantaly hoppy bitter finish. An excellent pilsner.

Oak barrel@Plzensky Prazdroj
Hazy golden color, creamy white head, lace. Malty and hoppy aroma with grainy and barnyardish notes. Very balanced malty, buttery with strong bitterness from Saaz hops. Velvety mouthfeel. This version lacks diacetylic flavors of normal Urquell.

500ml can from Tesco, Plzen. Gold, thin white head. Light creamy lager aroma. Bit watery, but nothing nasty, no cardboard. But not a great lager.
