I tried this beer on November 5, 2008 at Bar Volo in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a beautiful translucent dark gold (with reddish hues) in a tulip glass with almost no head. The aroma was bready malt, some maple notes, and yeast. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour is malty, some yeasty notes, some caramel, and a little hops. mnurda (437), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 5, 2008 Bottled sample via lubiere. Dark gold in colour with medium carbonation. Aroma of sourdough bread, pitted fruit, and a hint of caramel. More sourdough in the mouth along with some lemony acidity. There is a bit of light apricot going on, as well as some diacetyl. Medium bodied. Medium bodied and fairly clean finishing. Not too shabby overall. KyotoLefty (1501), Kyoto, Japan

Medium amber color with lots of orange. bohemian pils aroma: buttery, malty, decent hops, rich cereals, honey, some fruit. Big malt flavor with honey, butter, muscat grapes, cherry, alcohol. Strong alcohol finish with hops and fruity malts. A very interesting bock. Very complex, with nice hops and balance. The muscat flavor got on my nerves halfway through the pint, though.

| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Sep 19, 2008 Golden-amber. Fully malty, bready...nice nose. Kind of tart on the palate, with diacetyl. Whoa. At least it smelled good. Oh, and strong pilsner has been done before (see Europe, Eastern). MrManning (1661), London, Ontario, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 10, 2008 Tap-Golden pour with a foamy white head that laces and lasts. Leaves good lace. Heavy on the grass and lemon in the nose. Floral and also quite fruity with a good malt presence. Tastes are full on fruity caramel malts with floral bittering hops and some almost roast like qualities. Creamy int he finish. Pretty good. Lubiere (4552), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 6, 2007 A golden beer with a thick creany white head. A clean malt aroma with crisp hops, very german, and nice fruity notes. In mouth, a rather good biscuitty malt, grassy, with notes of roastiness, a good german crisp hops, some light nuttyness. For the cold fermented beers, this is spot on. Bottle from Probstk. Radek Kliber (4000), Toronto (Can) Krotoszyn (Pol), Ontario, Canada

Good deep gold, clear lager . Medium fine creamy top, fine ornamental lace.
Light, clean malty aroma, light hoppy accents with fruity touches.
Medium bodied, grainy front. Rich malty middle spiced with gentle herbal hops. Think of Czech Pils powered up . Bock like fruity malts. Neat softness behind. Potent lager that is pleasure to have.
