Herold Old Stork

Brewed by Pivovar Herold
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Breznice, Czech Republic

Bottle. Gold body with a medium sort of frothy white head. Aroma is malty and nicely hopped. Light graininess and some lightert straw notes. Dried fruit, perhaps? Almost a note of trail mix as well. Taste is grassy and doughy with light citrus and grains. Pleasant refreshing feel to it. Minimal carbonation buzz about it. Light-medium mouthfeel. Very quaffable! Finishes with lighter grains, faint lemon drop notes, grass, bready malts and light Euro hops. Nice!

This is one of those brews that when cold, you just want to drink more and more of it, but once it starts warming up, it gains a sticky sweetness that’s kind of off putting. Light gold body, short head, no lacing. Aroma is "fresh" and sweet. Taste is light bodied, sweet, bubbly, very very lightly hopped. (obx_2005)

Pours canary with smallish white head and small carbonation bubbles. Aroma is solid pale malt, hops, and some thiols. Very Pilsner Urquellish aroma. The taste is extremely malty, with some hopcit and honey in the very crisp, clean finish. This one is a winner!

Clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma of grain and some light hops. Flavor has notes of grain, grass, saaz hops and a hint of lemon. Medium-thin body with moderate carbonation. Not much lacing decent head retention. Ok.

Deep golden colour. On the sweet and lightly hopped side for a pilsener. The malt flavour profile reminded me a bit of Pilsener Urquell.. Decent.

Bottle: Golden yellow/light amber body with a medium white head. Light grass and fruits in the nose, followed by hints of bread dough, sweet grains, and crackers. Taste is sweet grains, spicy hops, grassy hops, light malts, sweet pilsner malt, light pear, apple, and a sweet yeast.

Grainy, slightly dry aroma. Lightly astringent, medium grain bittering which starts to build into the finish. A whole wheat cracker in a glass. Darkish straw color. Medium mouth, some light diacetyl. Not great but it grows on you.

This is from 1 of my "family" breweries, but my bottle, which probably came from the source as Reid’s, was notably skunky in the bottle & glass. Wasn’t too bad once you got past the aroma, for a Pilsener.
