The czechs know how to make a fine beer. This Pilsner rates behins Urquell and Budvar, but only just. Im a big fan of this beer. Crisp.

Clear straw color with a minimal white head. Heavy skunk aroma along with a blast of corn. Sweet corny taste all the way through the finish. The palate was thick and really intensified the skunky sickliness of this brew. Not a real pleasant drinking experience.

Pours clear yellow with small white head. Nose is skunked out hops. So is the flavor with some subdued malt graininess. I hate green bottles.

[Tasted in Niels’ summerhouse with the RISKY-bros’.] Had expected more of this famous beer, but maybe it was the wrong day of beertasting. Too much sticky alcoholic notes and the bitterness was unbalanced. Metallic, straws, grain, soft pilsnernotes and again unbalanced.

I drank this very often on tap and in bottles, as it is one of the standard beers in Prague restaurants. Golden yellow colour, nice head. Well-balanced brew, malty and hoppy. Nothing special to notice, which makes it a bit boring.
