I tried this from a 22 oz bottle on the train home, alte at night, suffering from a cold. That said, it made a really good impression. Nice little head formed in the bottle, and a really sharp Saaz hop bite I would never have expected in a pale lager. Really helped ease my suffering; and bless the 7-11 on Michigan Ave. for having a variety of beer to take home besides the usual 40's of malt liquor and Foster's oil cans!

Excellent on draught in the Czech Republic. Considerable hops and fairly bitter; lots of carbonation. Easy drinking, crisp and one of the more refreshing beers around.

The colour is dark blond. The aroma is wonderful, the expected malt depth, almost biscuity (zwieback), grassy hops, hint of smoke. Elegant malt base, very strong, an example for all new world Pilsners, the hopping is moderate, a bit herbaceous.
After drinking hundreds of craft Pilsners, this is still better.

Blond color, with medium sized head. Very nice malt aroma. Very solid malt flavor, like a rock, with a good level of bitterness, complete and balanced, with a good degree of sweetness. It lacks the fresh fascination and hop of some Helles, but it's a master of clean and fat malts.

Very nice hop and malt aroma, rare for any other big brewer, honeyish. Good bitter body and strong, quite aromatic final.

I drank the unfiltered version in the brewery in Plzen. This version is actually even better, but after a visit to the brewery, i can appreciate this pilsener a lot better. Very nice strong wort aroma, hoppy also. Quite bitter taste. This beer is the best to drink before dinner, while during dinner i wouldn't prefer such a bitter pilsener.

A beer with a clear dark yellow color but ufortunatly almost no head. It has a slightly hoppy aroma - and the nice bitter flavor of hops. For a pilsener this is one of the very best.
