Brewed by Plzensky Prazdroj (SABMiller)
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Plzen, Czech Republic

Pours a pale golden color with a white head.Smells of floral hops and a little malt with a slight skunkyness.The flavor is a nice balance of piney hops and sweet malts.Body is light and the finnish is a little bitter.Overall a good beer I would buy again.

Pours a golden yellow with a large white head. Aroma and taste is malts and hops... clean and crisp with a mild bitter aftertaste. I had a few of these, all on tap, in Cesky Krumlov. Maybe it was due more to the location than the beer itself but... I liked it. I can’t say I want to run out and buy one right now but when I am back in the beautiful Czech Republic I will be happy to have a few more.

Bottle. Gold, medium white head. Floral hops and plenty of bready malt on the nose. There is real robustness to the sweet malty body balanced by long bitterness. Still exciting.

I may have had a bad or mishandled bottle. The smell had a mercaptan level that rivals skunks--although it did not have a very predominant flavor when I drank it. Mostly tasted of resin with hay and cereal. Midway through the flavor the bitterness became really intense and lasted a long time. I think I need to try this again.

12oz bottle. Pours a bright clear golden yellow with a thick creamy white head. A nice aroma of floral hops and a slight funkiness. The taste is rather crisp and sharp. A floral and piney hops taste upfront, with a slightly sweet malt backdrop and some nice lemon spice. Very refreshing and drinkable.

Bottle. My late Opa from Germany turned me on to this beer. Even so, I really didn’t care for it. It is way too bitter for me. The color and aroma are not bad but after drinking it I really didn’t care to have another.

Pours rich golden color with a thin yet lingering white head. Aroma is that perfect round and full maltiness with a hint of caramelsweetness. Nice and smooth flavor, pleasing pilsner malt from the Bohemian and Moravian barley with a well balanced gentle Saaz hoppyness. The glass finishes quickly. This is the classic original that started it all for me. Czech it out.

Golden colour, white creamy head. Aroma is grassy lots of malts and also some hops. Flavour is a lot more hoppy than the aroma lets on and it’s very nice. It rests on a soft malt background. Mouthfeel is crisp and clean. This is a very good pilz a very unpretentious style ans sometimes not the most exciting, but sometimes it’s just the perfect style for the job
