Single bottle from Total Wine in Jacksonville, FL. Pours a nice golden color with a small head. Aroma is a light malt nose. Taste is smooth, with a bit of a hops bite on the end, but yet this is another good example of what the Czechs do right with their beer

Pretty golden color. Fluffy but thin head, no lacing at all. Nose of malt and corn. Grainy taste with a slightly hoppy finish. A reasonably good Pilsener, but not an outstanding one. I like Urquel much better.

On tap in a Czechvar glass. Golden beer with white head. Crisp malt/hop aroma. Body is medium overall, but good for a pilsener. Not as full and sweet as Pilsener Urquell. Dry, hoppy finish. Pleasant beer.

Bottle poured into footed pilsner- poured transparent light golden yellow, thin white head went away a little too quickly as desired, no lacing, very light carbonation. Aroma of light malt and grass. Hits the mouth with a defined light body, malt is easily detectable and even enjoyable, finish has a slightly bitter finish. When compared in a double blind taste test set up by the bartender, I prefered this over the US version of Budweiser. And I kinda like USA Bud... take that for what it is. Good example of the style.

At La Tortula. Bottle: Crisp, clean, refreshing. Hops present at a lighter scale that other pilseners. Good session beer.

Pours gold with a small white head. Not much lacing. Aroma is skunky. I assume it is from the green glass bottle. Taste is crisp and clean. Slightly dry hop finish. First impression is too sweet but the bitter hops balance the malts very well. Palate is smooth and dry. Overall this could be the best lager on the planet without the skunk aroma. Will try again to find a better example to review.
