FlemishChar (223), Virginia, USA Sep 9, 2001 The best Pilsner I’ve ever had, period. Even superior to the mighty Pilsner Urquell. It has a superb flowery aroma and a great golden color. The taste is overwhelming. Definitely one of the tastiest beers out there. First it starts with a great, bittersweet maltiness and then the hops explode in your mouth.. truly overpowering. When I go to the Czech Republic, I’ll go to this brewery and swim in their lagering vessels... urbnhautebourg (934), Annapolis, Maryland, USA Dec 2, 2002 Updated: Mar 23, 2003Update: Allow me to mention that this has the most restrained apple flavor, that morphs into this amazing woodiness, hardened with flint. I cannot say enough about the complexity of this Pilsner. I note that I continue to purchase this again and again. Re-rate: I have to bump this up some. I seriously believe that this might be the best Bohemian Pilsner I've ever had. This one has all of the great pilsner flavors and all are put together so beautifully, with that recherche flinty finish. Awesome.
Old: A bigger Pilsner, both in malt and hops. Malt reminds me a bit of Lobkowicz Knight: rather big and appley, but this has a sharper, flinty bitterness and a longer finish. Nice long lasting head. Pretty nice. Gusler (2656), Tucson, Arizona, USA Aug 21, 2001 True to its style the color is a bright gold, the head ample and white, the lace a delicate film on the glass. The nose herbal, flowery a really smooth tasting beer with just a mild hop bite. The body medium to light, the mouth feel is full and smooth. It starts with a malt sweetness, blends in the middle and a truly delicious hop taste filters through at the finish. A 4.0 on the ABW scale and a mild 27 on the IBU makes this a beer all will love. I got mine from Michael Jackson’s Real Beer Tour, and I know it’s imported by Lionstone International in Lake Bluff, Illinois, and for some strange reason it is not available here in Arizona as I checked with several top notch liquor stores, more likely to be found East of the Big Muddy. Kinz (1916), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA Feb 10, 2005 Deep gold, decent head. Big aroma of hay, grass clippings, some floral, quite hoppy. Hay and kraut flavors play in the mouth, turning floral and finishing with a faint hint of chervil. Good, balancing malt backbone, reminds one of a good multi-grain bread. Top-notch pils, I’ve been really impressed with this brewery. Schroppfy (1733), Ohio, USA Jun 24, 2003 Seriously underrated IMO - Incrediblyrich buttery oily aroma and flavor components - body is slippery and soapy and wonderful, **SUPER** Saazy snap at the very tail end of the finish - fantastic! Thanks Britt.
