Bottled. A hazy light golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of malt and dust. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of bread and metal, leading to a dry metallic and bitter finish.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Hazy golden with a rough white head. Discreet aroma with a whiff of sweet malts. Medium body, heavy carbonation, weird bonbon-like accents and some exotic fruits. Dry and lightly sulphurous finish. Not unpleasant but very far from a Pilsener. 190209

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Egg aroma, light cornish note. Dry and bitter to slight spiced hoppy flavoured. Subdued malt note. Unusual bohemian given the UK hops profile - I got no what so ever Saaz from this.

Bottle 330ml.
Clear light to medium yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, butter, toffee notes. Flavor is light to moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [20090103]

Cask handpull at the Wenlock. Golden with sparse white head. Lagery aroma but with more citrus than you would expect. Even slightly medicinal. Fine if a bit thin. Hop citrus finish is ok. More of a golden ale than a lager to be honest

Bottle from Good’s Shed, Canterbury. Hazy gold with thin white head. A bottle conditioned pilsner? Citric, hop, biscuit malt aroma. Sharp and cutting in mouth. Hoppy and crisp on finish. Good pilsner. I like it. Aroma is great. Very impressive but more of a golden ale than a pilsner, but drinkable

Botella. Hazy yellow colour. Quite mild hoppy aroma. Bitter mild hoppy and malty flavour. Pleasant bitter finish.

A Mes rate: bottle from God knows where.
A lovely clean gold colour with a thin white head and superb condition. Creamy and sherberty hoppage in the aroma with some gorgeous strawberry notes, plenty of tobacco and lemon. Really drinkable stuff. Slight card is expected but there is a decent amount of hops here. Quite dry and tarty. Some decent background malt. A decent bottled UK pils.

Deep golden colour, good carbonation to medium, white head. Toasted & herbal nose; toasted malts mainly, and (grilled?) artichoke, and a whiff of rancid fat or maize (=fatty acids?). Dry, malty taste, less toasted than the nose. There remains, however, a hint of racked corn flavour, maizeshoots-oil, that sits uneasy on something that is supposed to be Bohemian-style Pilsner. Retronasal I get some pineappleester. Light to medium bodied, slightly oily MF, leaving a sticky deposite on the old mucoses (as Bertie Wooster would have said). One question defies all other concerning this "Pilsner": IS it a Pils? What kind of yeast was used upon these Saaz-hopped worts?
