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.

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

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,
