Apr 6, 2009 On tap at Toronado, San Francisco, with Phyllis, 24th Mar 09. This tastes like a very fruity version of Rothaus Pils. Fruit on top with corn underneath. Slighly sour too. Interesting and enjoyable.

Mar 29, 2009 Draft at the Toronado sometime last November. Nice and crisp, retaining lots of that breaded grass characteristics this one does. Nice and yeasty with some sharp hop notes towards the end. Good stuff.

Mar 26, 2009 Draught at Toronado SF. Finally. I’ve seen this on the menu at The Red down in Santa Cruz at least three times, and the keg seems to always have "just" kicked. I started to get into the style while I was on the east coast, and this definitely hangs with the top American stuff. Pours a clear gold with a fluffy white head. Bread and spicy noble hop aroma. The flavor is quite hoppy but with a nice fresh bread malt body to balance. The hops are pretty spicy and finish with a medium bitterness. There is a light mineral quality as well, the malt is very evocative of grain and fresh bread. Light bodied but not thin in the mouth. Very solid pilsener overall.

Mar 25, 2009 Draft at the Toronado in San Fran. Nice golden pour with a small white head and nice lacing. Nice aroma of yeast and apple, light grass. Flavor consists of some nice malt with a decent hit of citrus hops and a tasty bitter finish. Very fine example of the style and tasty brew.

Feb 27, 2009 Draft @ Toronado, SF. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Has a fresh bready malty and hoppy aroma. Malty grainy and bready malty flavor with some nice hoppy hints. Has a sweetish malty hoppy bitter finish with a long bitter aftertaste. Nice pilsener.

Feb 4, 2009 Updated: Sep 8, 2009On tap at Toronado. I really don’t see the appeal to this one. Golden color with a white head and decent lacing. Grassy hop aroma along with pale malt. Flavor is malt and grassy hops and a strong buttery flavor that I’m not sure fits in well. Fairly full palate for the style.
UPDATE: Had this again at Toronado and it’s actually pretty damn good for a Czech pilsner. Nice sharp, lots of crisp grassy hops and still a little buttery flavor which actually works well here. Dry finish.

Jan 3, 2009 Tap at Toronado. The body was bright gold with a white head. The aroma was bread with some apples and orange blossoms. The taste was lightly bitter with some Saaz goodness. There was some cellar and grass bite to the taste.
