The colour is beautiful. Just like a true gold. Taste is above average, medium body, just the right bitterness and aroma. Huge potential to be served in pubs, even though other Prazdroj beers are preferred.

This is not a bad Czech Pilsener. Got this bottle from a collegue who was there and had it a few months in my fridge. The wheater was warm in Holland so tonight the time was right to drink this one.

Poured in my struise glass the beer looks very good. Two finger head with a darkcoppercouloured fluid with very nice carbonation. Good!

For the rest this is a normal beer, nothing fancy. Normal smell and dito taste.

Edit: had a second bottle an april 2013 when i was in the Tsjech Republic. Still a decent beer!

On tap at the Plzen Zoo and elsewhere in Prague: review from 2 tastings.

A: Clear golden color with a limited but durable bone head. excellent clarity; fine carbonation; leaves ample lacing

S: rather standard Czech pilsner aroma. As usual, no off odors and both hops and malt are primary components. Nothing really great or bad.

T: Rather average Czech pilsner at first, but this has a finer finish. Excellent malt/hop balance for style. A hoppy, mildly bitter finish

M: smooth with excellent (medium) carbonation. semi-dry finish

O: a fine choice for an inexpensive lager.
