This is my first Czech beer. What a nice, smooth sail.

The initial smell for me was "O...there is a baby skunk hiding in the rose bush!" On further processing, I deem it a pleasantly strong herbal smell (much like a "greenery" smell) with a floral note.

The soft-pale yellow color is topped off with an ample amount of white head. Upon drinking, the cling factor was high.

The character of this lager is assertive, but not overbearing. It has a crisp taste, a mild to medium malt that enhances the ability to appreciate the hops. The hops bring a lime-citrus flavor with a slight tin-like aftertaste. The finish is that of orange juice pulp. Rather user-friendly.

I wish I bought a 500ml bottle instead of the 12 oz. bottle. :)

Pours clear deep golden beer, sparkling, with 1-finger off-white head. Distinctive sweet honey and floral smell. Clear sweet malty taste with tones of manure and nice herbal bitter finish on the other hand. Well-balanced, medium-bodied classic czech pilsener. A legend of the style.

Thanx Aaron:

Into a pilsener:

A: golden yellow body with a four finger white foamy head that rises and falls and leaves some nice speckled lightly foamy lacing gracing the sides of the pilsener, carbonation is seen rising

S: spicy hops up front, light sweetness once it warms a bit

T: balanced spicy sweetness, good for the style, smooth dry crisp aftertaste and finish

M: light to medium, sessionable - probably very good with food, adequate carbonation

O: pretty good Czech Pilsener if you like 'em, hey go for this one, I'd have it again. This is Budweiser, wow, I'm impressed - kudos to them.

Not bad for what it is. It doesn't foam up much, it has a lovely gold color. It's neither sour nor sweet. Acceptable but not remarkable. Better than an American pale lager, but that's a low bar. If you serve this to idiots they will think it's really fancy.
