| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 20, 2009 This looks like a classic pub beer with a bit of head but not so much that you’ll get pissed at the bartender for handing you a pint of foam. Smells like light grains and popcorn, actually a very appetizing flavour on this one. Taste is excellent, a good mix of grains and hops, smooth syrupy mouthfeel but not too weird. A very good pilsner, one I’d seek out often. Hopper (336), San Antonio, Texas, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Dec 18, 2009 A very clear golden beer with no head. The aroma is skunky. The taste is skunky. I would like to try this fresh(as I have heard it is good) but apparently none in America is fresh. It just does not make any sense for a brewery to ship green bottles across the ocean. If they know green bottles do not protect the beer & they are shipping quite a distance then why do it. I guess they don not have anybody in these markets doing any quality control. iamqueensblvd (226), , Iowa, USA

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.
