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.

Bottle / Can. Colour - medium gold colour, long lasting bubbly white head, plenty of effervescence. Aroma - cereal grains, herbal hops, weak yeast. Mouthfeel - medium bodied, abover average carbonation. Flavour - nicely balanced between the malt and hops. I can see why it is the prototypical pilsner. Note - this is MUCH better from a can than a bottle. Most of the bottles I've tried have been skunked.

Slightly darker than the usual pils color with a light head , a little more malty than you'd expect from a pils but still retaining the hoppy freshness at the same time.

Clear darker yellow with decent white foam head lacing to glass. Aroma is nice bitter with some hints of sweetness. Taste is pilsener straight forward and one of good quality, nice bitter aftertaste. (Velp 201209)

I like this with chinese canadian food. Normal standard international lager, just more crisp, dry and with a touch of a bite from an acid. Hops are green and straw and hay. Ok to drink once in a while with said chinese food but otherwise best left on the shelf. Cracker like malt structure. This is the first beer I liked when I was 15
