2.7 Hazy yellow with a white head. Soapy hay aroma. Taste is dry grain with metallic lemony tartness. Light bitterness

3.7 bread, spruce, basement aromas, rotten eggs, cough drop, golden, hazy, frothy, medium sweetness, very bitter, medium sourness, medium body, sticky, average carbonation, bitter,

1.9 Láhev. Čirá světlezlatá barva. Pěna řídká, opadávající. Vůně nevýrazná. Chuť mdlá, velice nasládlá. Pro mne nazajímavé pivo.

3.1 Fine pilsener with the trademark aroma and with great carbonation and taste.

2.1 Bottle. Clear light copper colour with a minimal white head. Aroma is sugary malt with hops. A bit metallic flavour with hops. Watery texture. Slightly bitter finish.

2.2 500ml bottle (Stockmann, Tallinn) Pale, fizzy. Aroma slightly dry, peppery hops. Body slightly papery. Thin and watery. Some hoppy tingle, but little oramatic from the noble hops. Just another boring pale lager once it reaches the mouth. No flaws, and no corniness, in fact it’s quite clean. Certainly uncontaminated by beeriness.

3.2 Bottle: White head which disappears quick on top of a clear yellow golden colored beer. Smell typical pils malts, some herbs and hops Taste honey, herbs, bit of iron, hops, malts, caramel and medium bitter. Medium bitter herby hoppy aftertaste. Medium carbo, medium body, tingly mouthfeel and a watery texture Nice beer.

2.7 Golden, white head. Malty, bready nose. Taste is mainly malts and grains, sweet hints. Some hops, but I’d expect more bitterness and less malty sweetness from a pilsener. OK brew.

2.5 Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity grainy aroma with bready hints. Sweetish malty grainy bready flavor. Has a sweetish malty grainy finish.

2.6 Bread malt fragrance with a light element of grassy hops. The taste is sweet grainy malt, bread and hops. The aftertaste is somewhat sweet and sticky.

2.5 Clear gold with a white head and lots of yeasties (old bottle). Aroma is grain and malt. Taste is quite sweet malt with some caramel and yeast and light bitterness. Way underhopped and overmalted to be a pilsener.

2.9 På alla sätt en klassisk tjeck. Maltig humlig. Inslag av smörkola. Inte i tjeckisk toppklass men helt okej.

2.9 Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma and flavour of malt, hops, bread and butter.

2.6 Pours clear golden with a low head. Weak aroma is mostly malts. Flavor is malts with some fruit and a slightly hoppy finish. Quite decent.

2.1 Das Bier schmeckt in erster Linie malzig, dieses Aroma nimmt zum Abgang hin zu. Im Abgang kommt außerdem ein leicht getreidiges und kerniges Aroma hinzu. Der malzige Teil wird mir hier zu stark und wirkt aufgesetzt, das Ganze ist eindeutig überwürzt. Eine ausgeprägte Herbe ist nicht zu erkennen. Test vom 30.7.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,5,8,3,7,5 - 5,65

2.6 Bottle as a gift. Clear golden colour with a medium, white head, which diminishes quickly. Grainy nose. Malty aroma with biscuits, grains and some grass escorted by a moderate metallic off-flavour and some yeasty sourness. The finish is sweetbitter with spices. An absolutely average, easy drinkable and rather sweetish brew.

2.4 500 ml bottle. Pours a deep golden colour with a small patchy head. Aroma of grainy malts and grassy hops. Flavour of grainy malts, grassy hops, honey and hay. Light bodied with surprisingly rough carbonation. Easy.

3.6 500ml brown bottle, no date, foiled cap. It pours with a noticeable amount of yeast leaving me to believe it is old, but I will never really know I guess. It is a deep gold with a foamy white head that sticks for a bit then recedes with some lacing. The smell is grainy with a heightened yeast and alcohol character. The hops seem to be faded. Despite being bast its prime the taste is rather interesting. It has a nice bitterness still though it has lost a bit of pop. The grains lend a grahamy, honeyish flavor to the beer. The mouthfeel is a bit thin, but I think it is due to it being past prime. This beer is good even past it’s prime, I wish I could have it fresh. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 07-13-2010 22:44:48

2.1 Another knockoff of Pilsner Urquell, tries to have the hoppy punch to it but still rather malty compared to the hops, but does not succeed.

2.2 Bottle. Clear golden body but almost no head. Hoppy aroma that is not so fresh anymore. Taste is buttery and chalky and generally out of balance. It is either sub-standard or suffers from the green bottle.

2.9 Bottle 50 cl. Poured light copper colour. Aroma is sweet malty and metallic. Flavour is quite sweet and hoppy. Decent.

2.0 Kullanvärinen olut valkoisella, niukalla vaahdolla. Viljainen, maltainen ja hieman hedelmäinen tuoksu. Kevyt ja melko puhdas olut. Maltainen, hieman hedelmäinen ja hieman diasetyylinen maku. Pikkuisen on humalan puraisuakin. Aavistuksen menee vetisen puolelle.

2.9 .33l glass bottle found at a gas station/restaurant in Kosovo. Heavier gray-golden pour. Minimal head. Heavy honey lager body, typical but a more acute and not offensive flavor. Under carbonated, heavier lager. Sour mash. odd, not great, but more flavorful than most locals.

3.2 Bottled and on tap. Golden beer with a nice white head. Fruity, malty aroma. Taste, light sour, bittersweet finish. Drinkable beer.

1.9 Bottle: Clear gold, thin head and light lacing. No head retention. Nose of grass and grain, husk and sweet. Thin body and very thin flavor. Bad. Rough finish. Blah lager.

3.2 0.5 l bottle from supermarket. Golden color. Sweetish, honeyish and malty with herbal-peppery hops and medium bitterness. Hop-malt balace is even. Smooth slightly oily palate. Fairly good malty pils.
