Enjoyed from a green 12oz bottle in a pub glass. I had heard a lot of good things about this supposedly classic pilsner, and therefore was anticipating trying it when I scored a six-pack. The beer pours a medium yellow, with a reasonably fluffy white head. The aroma reminded me of regular American Budweiser that had been exposed to light. It wasn’t entirely skunked, but it was close. I got very little hop aroma. The palate was just as disappointing, throwing very little, if any, malt, and having just a touch of bitterness- not the bracing and assertive type that one would expect from a Bohemian Pils. Overall, a disappointment in essentially all facets.

(Sample Date: 3/8/2009 Source:Other) Richmond Beer Dig. Light graininess with earthy spicy hop aroma. Clear light straw with a small white head. Light graininess with some honey notes and a dry hay like spicy hop flavor.

500 ml bottle in Germany at the Cafe Carrre just before it closed for good. This is what Bud should taste like. A wonderful lager with a great blend of malt and hops, quite a refreshing beer

Bottle. Poured with an average-sized, fizzy white head, that disappeared failry quickly. Dark-yellow color, clear and sparkling. Smelled quite skunky; this aroma hung around for most of the time drinking it. As for the flavor, it was slightly sweet and acidic, and skunky as well. Not great, and didn’t improve over time. Light to medium body with a watery texture and fizzy carbonation, with an average-lasting finish. Don’t think I’d go out of my way to buy it again.

Overall Impression: Don’t confuse with the American crap, this is the real (and pretty good) Budweiser (as a good European friend of mine likes to remind me).

33cl bottle poured into a footed pilsner. Clear golden color with lots of white head. Nose is all hops. Taste is all hops as well. Very smooth with a short finish. Not bad but not great. Much better than Anheuser-Busch’s knock-off Budweiser brand.

Bottled. Golden with white head. Aroma of malt with hint of hay and spices. Flavor is more malt with an OK bitterness.

I was expecting more from this beer, but I guess pilsensers/pale lagers can only get so good. For the kind of beer it is, I guess it’s alright, but it’s really nothing special.
