Poured a cloudy lemon-yellow at the Brouwerij 't IJ in Amsterdam. The thin white head led to a faint grainy nose and a dishwater mouthfeel. Lacks flavor; has a bitter crispness unmatched by absent maltiness.

This Bohemian Pilsner pours a light yellow gold color from a 33cl bottle. Medium to large sized white foamy head. The aroma is grain, grass, floral hops and yeast. A medium bodied Bohemian Pilsner. The malts are grainy and grassy. The hops are very spicy and somewhat floral. Nice carbonation. Hoppy for a pilsner. Crisp, dry and clean. A touch of malt sweetness in the middle. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is crisp and very dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

POurs out in a pale golden colour with a rich eruptive white foam. Yeasty aroma of crackers, biscuit and mild banana with dryish crisp notes of white bread, orange-peels, grass and minerals. Flavour starts quite sweet of crackers and oranges but finishes really dry and bitter of grassy hops with touches of yeast. Really nice.

Light gold with a big fluffy head and solid lacing. A mild aroma of more southern variety...A wet finish, taste was flat at first, papery malts, grassy, herbal/minty hops. More aroma and a fuller flavor when some of the yeast pours. nice ostrich

Hazy yellow colour, mediumsized foamy head. Wheat and yeast in aroma. Yeast, wheat, sour apples and spice in flavour. Artificial feeling over it. Umm, really a pilsener? Indeed a "different" pilsener in that case...

Pours a slightly hazy gold with a large, booming white head. This isn't really a pilsner. It's got the straw malt and some of the peppery hops, but it's also got a slight yeasty funk that you'd expect more from a Belgian tripel than in a pilsner.

This one poured a dark yellow color, as dark as pilsners get. The head was significant initially (all bubbly) and subsided to a very nice and continuous covering that maintained itself well. Lacing was solid, almost a continuous bubbly coating around the glass and where it broke between the top and the beer itself, there were nice little dangling fingers reaching their way into the beer. Definitely an appearance hard to beat within style. The aroma was as good as you can get for a pilsner. Nice and strong grassy hops. The flavor was dead on for a pilsner, but not my cup of tea: all grass. So much hoppy grass, it tasted like nasty wild grasses and muddy seawead. Just not my liking in a beer. If you're a pilsner guy, you'll love this extreme example of the style. Finishes bitter, obviously. Mouthfeel was rich and thick for the style, lots of carbonation too.
