Commercial Description:
A Bohemian style golden lager. A profuse maltiness, offsets the slight bitterness from the aromatic Saaz hops resulting in a complex, yet very smooth lager.

(bottle): Clear orange-yellow body with medium off-white head. Aroma is sharp grassy, then some malts -- caramle mostly. Taste starts with a pleasant sweetness that complements the strong but not overwhelming grassy bitterness that dominates this beer. Some floral flavor shows up as the beer warms. Medium body, a bit fuller than I'd expected.

First pour was a medium and clear golden color with a small sized white head. Second pour was very cloudy with lots of floaters. Aromas of mainly grasses with light citrus. Tastes of grass with light malts. Medium sweet. Thinner and watery body.

A very pleasant and smooth lager with sufficient malt and not over-hopped.

Deep gold body with a bubbly white head. The aroma is a bread dough, malty scent with, alas, just a trace of Saaz hopping. It’s a smooth drink, but the malty flavor seems a bit diluted. I would like to have tasted a bit more of the hops in this. Finishes on a watery, malty sweet note.

A cross between a bohemian pils and a helles lager. Golden color with a white fluffy head. Seems to lack hops for a pils and backbone malt for solid lager. Drinkable, but nothing extraordinary.

Recently purchased at Benz Beverage Depot in Cedar Rapids, IA. There is not a sensible expiration date on the shoulders of the bottles in this four pack. Anyay, I have tried a couple of times and the beer seems fine. The body is dark gold with a thick and long lasting white head. Lots of carbonation bubbles in my tulip glass. The aroma has some potatoes with some spicy ginger. The taste has some light notes of bell pepper with some spice of black pepper in the finish. All of the flavor is mild and the mouthfeel very soft. This is nice, but needs a little more character. It is possible the hops taste has faded with time.

Light gold color with a thin head. Dry malt aroma. Fairly grainy and malty taste with a hint of hops. I would have done better to have it colder, but it’s fairly tasty.

I absolutely love this lager. It's beauty lies in its subtleties, which can easily be missed by those looking for the maltiest or hoppiest beer. A definite yeasty flavor permeates the solid malt body and little bitterness can be found. A session lager of the highest order.
