BelgianBeerGal (1276), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Aug 7, 2008 Bottled. Pours a clear golden, yellow colour with lots of carbonation and a thin white head. Nice citrus hop aroma plus some sweetness balance. The hops are the first thing to hit the tongue, then the malt balances it well and it finishes with a bit of dry spice. Definitely near the top of the pils class. TheGent (144), , Massachusetts, USA Aug 5, 2008 Pretty cool beer for a style I commonly pass on. appearance was normal slight gold yellow and a spicey smell that was worth sticking my nose in all during the tasteing. What really impressed was the progress of flavor. off the bat is a hops spice that goes into a quick berry like sweetness and than finishes with the bitterness which lingers. masonjer (560), Holt, Michigan, USA Aug 5, 2008 Poured very light yellow into the glass with a thin white head. Aroma was a touch of sweetness and some sharp dry hops. Taste was a touch of grainy sweetness and a quick punch of musty and earthy hops. Nothing that detracts here, just super stripped down and simple. Not the best balance for a pils. smjohnst (202), , Pennsylvania, USA Aug 2, 2008 I am not a big fan of pilsners and I really enjoyed this one. It is quite strong in my opinion but was not overly bitter. Snojerk321 (1917), San Diego, California, USA Aug 2, 2008 Pours out a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is of hops and grainy malts. Surprisingly full-flavored, very hoppy, with nice malt character to it as well. Medium-bodied, long dry finish. This is a great Pilsener. tgncc (796), Bellmore, New York, USA Aug 1, 2008 Aroma is slightly hoppy, spicy, earthy. The appearance is straw gold, thin white head. The flavor is somewhat malty, grassy and certainly hoppy. The hops leave a little sting on the finish. Not bad, better than some German pilseners out there. In fairness, this is far from my favorite style. Not bad overall. IlanMan (816), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA Jul 30, 2008 I tried this a few months ago but the beer was over a year expired. This time, the beer was only 3 months expired so I am working my way up. Aroma was slightly hoppy and with a hint of czech spice. Flavor was again slightly hoppy, smooth, and an easy drink. Not a bad brew at all but nothing I would write home about. inkubus27 (237), Highland, Indiana, USA Jul 30, 2008 Possibly the best example of a Bavarian/Bohemian pilsner I’ve ever had. Pours bright golden with a nice white head. Hop aroma shines through, which is a definite plus. Taste is malty but with just enough bitterness to keep you coming back. A very good example of the style.
