Draft, at the Maple Tree Inn Certainly well presented in the glass: Golden pils color, thin head, etc. Smell is that decently malty "beer" smell those of us raised on pale lagers come to expect. A decent base Bohemian hop character that is mostly bitterness without any other great distinction. This probably would taste much better closer to its home, but as it is, it’s a nice beer I wouldn’t be ashamed to serve.

I expected so much more than it delivered. Some hops and malt in the aroma, but not enough of either. The best quality of the beer is the appearance; dark orange. Flavor is chemical, corn and barely noticeable hops. I initially rated while the beer was cold. As it warmed it became more flavorful. If I want a warm beer I probably wouldn’t choose a pils, but this one is better at higher temperatures.

A dark orange beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy. The flaovr is sweet and dry hoppy with light notes of caramel and light notes of grass in the end. The mouthfeel is a little sticky.

Bottle. Very mild sweet malt aroma. Yellow color with almost no head. Sweet malt flavor with only slight hops finish. A very light pilsener - don’t pick this ahead of Urquell and Budvar.

Pours a bright yellow with a white head. No real aroma. Flavor is a bit grassy and tart. Mostly its just bland and watery. With some Czech beers its either hit or miss. This one is a miss.

Can - Almost approaches a beer smell although the cornflake smell is predominant. Regular urine yellow color. Stale cornflake flavor but will give a point for slight hops bitterness at finish. Need to quit buying the no alcohol swills - never had one worthwhile.

Bottle. Roasted malt aroma. Medium yellow color with small head. Sweet-sour malt taste with a light hops finish. Maybe a bit too sweet for some but I really like this beer - very pleasant with a nice balanced flavor.

Can, close to best before Golden low head. Dusty fading hops, spongy malt. I think it was past its prime, I guess I have to go to the Czech Rep. and try it fresh.... Surprisingly full body considering the strength. Milk aftertaste.
