| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 16, 2009 LIght yellow pour with a tiny white head. Nice aroma seems a mix of grassy and citrus tones. Flavor has notes of hay, grass, and lemon. Palate is solid for for a pils, really a nicely crafted brew overall. Bigsilky (322), Charleston, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 20/20 | Jun 11, 2009 Tiny bubbles gracefully persue the freedom of the healthy foam head. Some sea foam and spice on the nose. Light sweet malt is quickly checked by a balanced but well footed hop bitterness. Herbal hop spice lingers on the medium finishs as palate is purified by this beauty of a pilsener. Balanced perfectly, no flaws whatsoever, give anything I’ve had from Europe a run for its money. Thankfully we met at the beginning of June and not the end of September. canary dog (443), Rutland, Vermont, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 10, 2009 The closest thing I have tasted in a Pilsener to the original Pilsner Urquell. The Saaz hops are very nicely done and provide that smooth, almost bready, bitterness in unison with a subdued grassy sweetness. A fresh tasting and wonderful beer. I should be enjoying more of these this summer. ben4321 (1040), Rockville, Maryland, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 6, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a light gold color with a fluffy, white head. Slightly vegetal aroma with notes of grain, spicy hops, and a bit of mineral. Medium carbonation with a medium-light mouthfeel. Slightly sweet malt, herbal notes, hop spicyness, and a touch of grass on the palate. A good balance between malt sweetness and hop bitterness. Medium-short finish. Overall a very good pils! dchmela (1450), Orlando, Florida, USA
