Sep 26, 2007 POurs clear with notes of bread on the nose. It shows a decent amount of crisp malt and hops with a clean finish.

Oct 25, 2006 Undated bottle from American Beer Distributors consumed on 9/25/06.
Crystal clear, filtered/pasteurized/force carbonated. Still, a rosy peach-copper body is true enough to style and the white head while not particularly well-retained, laces quite resiliently and is maintained at partial-cover.
Initially, a very hoppy nose shows off dusty saaz hops, but very aromatic and quite crisp and straw-like as well. Spiciness on the end, and a touch of light honey and dough. Not too much crisp yeast either.
Way too much sugar in the flavor, bready, doughy and with a sagging, artificially carbonated texture. Bitterness perks up at the very beginning but is quickly washed out by pale sugars, wateriness and hay flavored hops. Poorly balanced, there is no crisp yeast bite at the end of my bottle. Gets watery very quickly. No alcohol noted.

Feb 20, 2006 Found this at some crappy bodega on 14th st. Aroma has that traditional light saaz smell, but I think this was old b/c it had some slight skunkiness to it. Flavor was light sweet malt with some breadiness and a decent hop flavor and bitterness. Pretty cleand and crisp finish but may have been a bit past its prime. Not as good as Staropramen.

Nov 1, 2002 Excellent eurolager aroma, but it kinda went downhill from there. Cereal, metallic and malty flavors. Ditto on the finish. Green bottle, lousy label.
