Bottled:
Pours a pale golden colour with a dense head. Butter, cookie dough and honey on the nose with some herbal notes of hops. Big herbal and grassy bitterness, somewhat thin mouth feel.

A pilsener as good as pilseners get. Rerate: Had it from can this time, still the benchmark of a good pilsener. Only 4,4% now, but I remember (I think!) that the alcohol content was about 5,2% when I first had it (in Germany) many years ago?!

Quote from my fiancee: Does 'crappy' have one or 2 p's? That says it all. I think I had a bottle that was exposed to the light too long because the skunk smell was literally unbearable. Whatever positives in the flavor were drowned out by the horrid stench. I will have to try this one again sometime...

Citrussy saaz aroma. Golden, low carbonation and head, some residue floating. Light malt base. Hops hide well, slight bandaid. Bready aftertaste, light hop dryness. Even in Europe the taste seems to vary considerably

Bottle
Slight toasted aroma. Dark golden, low head. A bit dusty but nice balance. Sparkly mouthfeel.

Golden coloured. Fresh from tap the aromatic, oily saaz aroma is very evident. It is rather dry, medium bodied and has a great deal of bitterness. One of the best megabrewed beers around.

Pale, relatively light bodied, rather bitter. Not one of the better Czechish pilseners,

Pale orange coloured cloudy and lively. Nice and tart with banana aroma. A good and true-to-style hefeweizen.

Ok, so it's very seldom fresh at all in North America. I just remember a few years ago in Halifax when I had some straight off the boat. That's where these high marks come from. When fresh, this is a first-rate pilsner. When not fresh, well, it's like any other beer that isn't fresh. Usually on this side of the ocean you'll want to get it on tap or from the can, to avoid skunkage.

Deep gold; much maltier than Urquell, solid but unspectacular...............
