330ml bottle. Bright amber colour with a neat and tidy even white foam cap and aromas of malt and hops that dominate anything else that might be there. Clean crip taste with a slight bitterness at the end. Decent enough.

Very clear golden beer with good carbonation and retention. Very malty flavor with no detectable hops both on tongue and nose. Little carbonation or mouthfeel.

Poured from bottle into Pilsner glass. Clear light gold with thin white head and tendrils of lacing. Very dry and spicy smell with strong notes of hay, grass and apple. Great malt body of apple, pear and only slightly grassy. As expected, it turns more spicy and bitter toward the end. Moderately high carbonation, clean light body, very dry finish. Exactly what I think a Pils should feel like, whether Czech or German. Exceedingly refreshing Czech Pils with a much better than expected malt body. Could have used a touch more bitterness for balance, but that is a very minor complaint. Until I retry Pilsner Urquell, this is my favorite Czech Pilsner.

Bottle and draft. I drink Staropramen at first, then Pilsner Urquell and then Budvar. The last was better. Good balance of hops and malts.

Pours a golden yellow with very little head. This beer has a faint aroma of hops. It tastes of very bitter hops, too bitter in my opinion. It has a watery mouthfeel and, aside from the hops, is pretty bland. This is a very mediocre beer, and it is highly overrated.

Big ol thanks to bman1113vr for this one. Clear golden pour. Small white head. Aroma is corn, skunk, urine. Flavor is corn, grass, skunkiness isn’t as bad as the aroma. Fizzy mouthfeel.

Bottle. I can’t help but think to myself, "why green?!". Pours with a clear golden body and a fading white head. Aroma of cut grass clippings, light struckness, and a bit of stale bread. Taste is better, slightly, less lightstruck, bready, thin, watery and grassy. Thin and dry mouthfeel. Too far from the source, and not in a good bottle.
