As this is usually regarded as the original lager/pilsner , it was a bit dissapointing to me. Hardly any aroma, not much body, and a lack of lingering aftertaste. Easily beaten by loads of other similar type beers. But it is a very good thirstquencher!

330ml bottle into glass. Grassy hop nose with a little spice/sweetness. Inviting. Pours amber with sudsy head. Taste is clean bitterness. Finish is a little malt, then lasting citric bitters. Nice.

Green bottle when opened smells something like wheat beer, slightly yeasty. Lots of bubbles in the glass but has an almost flat palate. Has a hoppy bite and was not as clean tasting as I anticipated. Lingering bitter finish. Typical pale yellow american beer? I was a little let down on this one. There are many pale yellow american beers that are better than this.If this is the original style pilsner, appaerently pilsner is meant to have a bitterness about it. Will not buy again. Nova Paka is better too.

50cl on tap at some random place in Kaplice, Czech. Clear golden with a white head. Moderate malty aroma with a hint of fruits, nice herbal and grassy notes. Moderate sweet with balanced flavours and a fine bitterness. Certainly a decent pilsner and really nice still when it’s fresh from tap. Nice and sessionable thirst quencher.

Bottle: I drank it straight from the bottle as a good pilsner should be sampled. (didn’t know I had never rated it). The smell was sweet grassy slight hoppy aroma. The taste was superb...smooth, malty, grainy, just enough zing to keep me interested. So far the Czech pilsners are my favorite by far, sorry Germany!

Golden and crystal clear color with tiny ring of white foam. Aroma is skunky yeast followed by a tasty malt smell. Flavor is sour yeast and then a mild malt backbone with some bittering hops bringing up the rear of the taste profile. Aftertaste is a bit sour. A really refreshing beer for a hot summer day. 3.6 Re-rate 20210402. six pack pours same. The aroma offers up classic spicy Saaz hop goodness with just a faint warm bready malts. The taste delivers a pleasing degree of spicy lovely Saaz hops that both dries out a bit and becomes a little chewy. The spiciness approaches becoming a tiny bit peppery. It's just slides toward the finish with a friendly balance of mild sweet bready maltiness. 4.2

Nose of malt and grass, noble hops. Clear medium gold body with almost nonexistent white head. Wee bit of sudsy lace. Mouth is thin with a low level of carbonation. Flavor is mild but well balanced, clean and simple, light bread, grassy hops, bit of pepper on a very clean ending. Highly sessionable.

green bottled beer...a health hazard. The beer is clear, light gold in color with a huge white head that sticks to the glass. Aroma is balanced with grass and hops. Flavour is nicely balanced too. Finish is not too bitter. Much better preserved than the bottle usually lends itself to.

The great grandfather of all of today’s Czech Pilseners, be they good or bad. I guess one can be a bit sentimental and rate this one high, and if you get it in a can that would be worthy. Or you can be fair and rate it for what it is, a decent lager that is a few steps above a macro but still a few steps below a well crafted pilsner. A pale straw pour that is topped by a foamy white head. Aroma is balanced between floral hops and grass. Flavour is rather one dimensional with grains up front and hops in the finish.
