Very fresh hoppy aroma. Quite big white head. Appearance very clear, golden. Bitterness which has some bite - but not too heavily plus grass flavour which stays long enough to make drinking enjoyable. (9/3/8/4/15 3.9)
Re-rate: bottled (BB 01/2005)
Dark golden color with steady white head, lace. Strong hoppy aroma - like it should be. Hops dominate mouthfeel, some sugary notes too. Bitter hoppy aftertaste. Classic benchmark of the style. (7/3/7/5/15 3.7)

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.

Appearance: bright golden, small head, but lots and lots of carbonation running up the glass. smell: wheaty and very skunky. Green bottle, so there might be the answer... but this specific sample is extremely skunky. taste: grass, pepper, a slight skunk... biggest taste that I pull out is the grass. It's very strong. mouthfeel: very nice; good carbonation. Not a fan of this brew- there's much better out there.

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.

Aroma is sharp, metallic. Taste is quite ok. Sharp palate. Puke is a big word, but nice is different.

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...
