This beer pours golden yellow with a white slightly creamy head. Aromas of corn sugar and hops. Initial sip tasted a strong flavour of corn syrup. Mouthfeel was slightly creamy. Hoppy middle with a some what bitter finish. All along with the flavour of pure corn syrup.

Bottle. Golden color with a slightly skunky aroma (no comment on the color green). A little malty sweetness and then a spicey hop presence that lingers. More flavor than the Budvar and a bit more body. Finishes dry with a slight fruity flavor.

The aroma is sweet malty with slight bitter notes. The color is golden and it has a fine head. The flavor is sweet malty with light bitter notes. I had Gambrinus years back - and remember it much better than this. an average slightly bitter lager.

Ah my favorite pilsner. Great golden color with a clean after taste. I love the hops used in this beer they are some of the best hops on earth. When at the store ask the salesperson for a 6-pack still in the cardboard box, the green bottles, if sitting out to long make the beer skunky. If you ever find yourself in the Czech Rep this beer goes for about 50 cents for a pint. A tour of the brewry though gets you no free samples

Almost the same as the Gambrinus Premium. I could only say that it is a decent pilsener.

Golden with a big, frothy head. Hops-dominated nose of pine and grass with some malt. Rich hoppy flavour resulting in a long-lasting bitterness with a solid malt backbone. This is probably the one style where the original standard is still one of the most interesting versions, at least when fresh on tap in the Czech Republic...

Pale gold yellow color, a little clearer and less bubbly than czechvar. Can pour a large grassy/straw smelling/tasting head if too warm. Iniital taste is saaz hops, but has some sour notes to it I dont care for. Some malt character towards the finish, but this beer is too watery, and does not warm gracefully. Still, it has a crisp enough body while cold and has some straw/floral notes to some extent.
Rerate, 2015 bottle. Had this at a xmas party w very few options. Wow was this horrid. Massively thin texture does not support a very stiff, nearly sour, bittering component. Hard carbonation, no maltiness at all and a good deal of diacetyl. Just screams incredibly rushed brewing process. Significantly worse than even 3-4 years ago.

Upon opening, I smelled a certain striped desecrator of flavor on the nose. We all know, however, that drinking beer is about "image," and this "foreign-looking" green bottle is preferred by the trendy and sophisticated swillers of the world, apparently. Luckily, light hops restored their aromatic dominance (although they weren't exactly dominant), and the golden-colored body is flavorful, hitting the tongue with slightly spicy hops upon sipping, and opening to sweet, smooth malt and lemon flavors upon the swallow. From what I've read about this beer, I believe I escaped the brunt of my furred adversary's tail-based attack.

Bottled. Golden coloured, average head. Grassy nose. Rather dry with hard, sharp mouthfeel. Medium bitterness.
