A very satisfying pilsner. Pours gold with a white head. Very skunky, grainy aroma, but the flavor pops with a nice balance of grainy malts and clean hops. A touch of sweetness adds a lot as well, but it finishes dry, as it should. Not the best pilsner, but a good, attainable, middle of the road example to which compare all others to.

Dec 15, 2009 I need to retry this beer because the one i had was skunked. Horrible lager taste. Just bad.

Dec 12, 2009 Tap at some restaurant in Prague, Czech Republic, as Plzensky Prazdroj 12
The classic of all pilseners, but not the best.
I actually liked the Starobrno better than this one.
Poured it is a clear light golden beer, with a big foamy long lasting head.
The aroma is malty and a little sour, some alcohol.
Simple and a little too indistinct.
Clean, fresh, sharp, czech pilsenere with a bitter finish which later are subdued a bit by the alcohol - which is a shame.
It could be more creamy or less watery too, but isn’t damaging the beer that much.

Dec 4, 2009 Pours a clear gold color with a white head. Aroma of malts and hops and herbs. Flavors of malts and hops, corn and some straw. Medium carconation, a clean crisp taste, and a sweet to bitter finish, with a grassy end taste in mouth. Refreshing, light and easy to drink

Nov 27, 2009 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.

Nov 26, 2009 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.

Nov 24, 2009 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.

Nov 23, 2009 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.
