Bottled. Pale golden with a nice white head. Boiled vegetables, grains, hay and grass in the aroma. Quite fruity flavor with some grains and malt. Fruity, grainy and slightly bitter finish. Thin to medium, and slightly fizzy body. (060528)

Thanks to Hair-old for this beer. It was in a green bottle but protected from light by the cardboard 12-pack. This is actually quite good. I attribute the poor scores to bad bottles and general under-appreciation of pilsners. In good condition, this beer is very enjoyable. It is dark gold. Powerful hops for the style. Medium bitterness. Full bodied.

Bottle. Papery aroma. Golden colour, fizzy white head. Watery mouthfeel. The flavour has some malt, a bit of yeast, reminding me of Belgian yeast. Not so clean or crisp.

Bottled. Clear golden, average head. Bready aroma with evident notes of hay and diacetyl. Sweet malty flavour with clean, hard mouthfeel. Butterscotch is very obvious. Medium bitterness with grassy tones. Pleasantly traditional old style Czech beer.

[I find the label of my beer more red than brown - but it is the 4.1% ABV version - so this is where my rating goes] A deep red beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of berries. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of berries - cowberries comes to mind, on a malty background, but also hints of metal comes thru, before the quite dry and slightly woody end sets in. The strong sweetness and berry notes - makes me think of a pilsener mixed with a raspberry sodapop - the Czech type of Radler?

Import bottle. This was hard to find on this site. I just went by the label: B.B. Burgerbrau. Anyway, kudos to Sam’s Wines in Downers Grove, where this was in the "Staff Picks" rack among the wines and next to the DFH Fort. Yes, someone recommended a $1.35 bottle.Pour is much less skunky than the Konig Pilsner I rated previously, more of a Czech hop character. Pours a richer golden body, thinning head. Taste is mostly sweet, though, or perhaps that’s from the Valentine chockies my wife was popping in my mouth. Mouthfeel comes out a bit thin, though, and a promising Pils malt profile offers no hop support. No date on the bottle, but that’s the danger from import Pilseners: the good ones are hard to locate. But fails to live up to its good looks.

I think this is the first Czech beer I have had. Sadly it is not very impressive. Sampled from a 12 oz green bottle this beer pours a dark golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma is sour macro tang and skunk and the flavor is the same though a bit more sweet than I would have expected. Wholey uninspiring.
