Nice pilsner(?) beer! Nice appearance with an amber body and a foamy white-buttery head. Fruity, floral hoppy and malt nose, Rich body and texture with taste of hop, some pale malt and yeast. Fine aftertaste.

Beer pours...um, like dark orange(?). The darkest pilsner I’ve ever had, for sure! The aroma is sweet malt and maybe even some fruitiness. The flavor is sweet floral notes and fruity malt that was really sweet with maybe even a touch of sour, caramel malt and a nice rounding out bitterness. This beer is very atypical for style. I enjoyed it...and would have given it hugely high ratings if it only had more funky grassy type hops in there so typical for the style.

creative for a pills, a bit darker and with less clarity than the others. floral and green in aroma but not lacking the nice bitter hop finish. almost alpine in some ways.

hazier and darker than a traditional pilsener with huge white head. flavor is of munich malt, more pronounced than the traditional pilsner malt component and finishes with a prominent hop bitterness before a dry ending. very nice version

Pours a hazy golden beer with a dense head. Aroma of flowers, straw, grass and fruits. The flavours are bitter, pine-like on a caramel-base.

(3/13/08) Bottle at Gollem in Amsterdam. Hazy golden with a medium white head. Floral aroma of hops. Great flavor which starts malty sweet and continues with bitter fresh hops flavor and some fruits. Medium-bodied. Good stuff.

Bottle. Interestingly enough, when I popped the swing top on this the rubber gasket stayed near glued to the bottle and only the plastic came up. The pressure inside the bottle and the now very small opened created about a 1" fountain of foam that sprayed everywhere. Good times.

Barring that, there was surprisingly little head on this. Flavor is ultra-biscuity and great czech hops, with a unique nutmeg and cinnamon-raisin bread aroma that is very pleasant. Goes down real easy. This stuff is great.
