Bottle, from Morrisons, Grimsby. Gold, thin white head and gentle condition. Low sweet malt in the nose with a touch of starchiness and a distant floral hop note. Pleasant hoppy bitterness and low grain in the mouth, lingering bitterness and a slight citrusy fruitiness in the finish.

Jul 3, 2008 Bottled. Golden colour with mediumsized white fluffy head. Aroma is sweet malts along with some metallic notes as well as quite much grass/hay. Flavour is sweet malts, quite much grassy and hayish hoppy notes. Quite clean and no metallic notes in the flavour at all.

Jun 4, 2008 Gold. Pleasant malty aroma. Sharp slightly metallic hoppy taste. Good refreshment without great complexity. Does its job on a warm evening.

May 29, 2008 Considering Stella gets 2.54, this beer must get at least a whole point more. Good malt flavours, hops somewhat indifferent. Very drinkable all the same.

May 10, 2008 500 ml bottle, shared by DarkElf, from World Beer Cup 2008. Pours a nice clear golden color with a moderate sized white head that leaves stringy lace. Aroma of grainy malts, hint of cookie dough, lightly grassy, with floral hops evident as well. Flavor is classic pilsner, with abundant spicy floral hops, light maltiness, hint of toast, lemon zest, hint of soap and a pleasant puckering finish. Light to medium body, crisply tingly carbonation.

Apr 13, 2008 Bottle from Morrisons, Banbury, Oxon, consumed 13-04-08 Warm gold with busy white head. I do like Czech beers and even though they are not all top notch this included they are often a step or two above the usual fare. Nice hoppiness to this that clings right to the finish, sweet malts are there but they’re trampled over by those hops and that drying finish, very nice.
