pale yellow, medium-sized head. High carbonation. Malty and hoppy, well-balanced. Slightly thin and watery but pleasant to drink.

I drank this a hundred times, as it is the standard beer in many Prague restaurants. Deep golden yellow, nice head. Hoppy and slightly malty. Nothing special to notice, but quite decent, although not one of my favourite Czech beers. ************** re-rate: bottled and tankovna Plzen on tap at Hotel Zvon, Ceske Budejovice: Clear golden colour, large white head. Good malty-hoppy nose. Bitter-sweet, with a lot of flavours for only 4.4%. Nice hops - well-balanced with their malt. A pleasant experience.

Cannette. De couleur dorée et transparente. Nez de grains de malt pâle, de houblon herbeux (foin) et légèrement floral, léger de pain et avec des notes fruitées (agrumes et zest). Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et croustillant ainsi qu’une texture légèrement crémeuse. Goût de grains de malt pâle avec de petites notes fruitées (zest d’agrumes, notes de pommes vertes) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût malté légèrement sucré rappelant un goût de biscuits et avec un léger goût de pain et de faibles traces de miel parallèlement à un goût moyennement amer et asséchant de houblon herbeux (foin et herbes fraîches) et légèrement floral présent jusqu’en fin de gorgée. Post-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, moyennement amer de houblon herbeux (foin) et légèrement floral avec des notes fruitées (zest d’agrumes, notes de pelures de pommes vertes).

cheap beer available in some Czech supermarkets. Nothing much to say about it. Looks alright, rather malty flavour, a bit thin and watery.

looks godd, but that’s about it. Boring and watery mass-produced europivo, unfortunately to be found nearly everywhere in the Czech Republic.

large head, golden colour. Malty, although quite hoppy as well. Slightly watery, could do with a little more fullness of flavour.

Bottle. Pours a golden color with small white head that stayed for awhile. had a very hoppy aroma. the taste was a sweet malt with a grainy finish. Easy to drink for a good session beer. A decent pilsener from Urquell.

Draft at the Weekend Pub, Newport News. Aroma is lemon and cow shit hay. Color is golden, but not light. No head at all. Flavor is unexpectedly hearty with corn and onion. Wonderful cilantro finish. Even though it’s a Czech product, I think it would go very well with chili or Mexican food.

Clean hop aroma, not so hoppy as American pale ales, but hoppy. Golden amber color with a decent white head. Medium mouthfeel. Instant hit of hop bitter, quickly balanced by malt. And it goes on like that. Bitterness is ever present, and the malt still hangs in at the finish. It’s not a lot of malt, but it’s not a gigantic amount of hop either. Bitter enough to keep around the mouth. Won’t replace a decent ale, but better than 90+% of the filtered golden lagers.
