This pours a clear golden colour with a fluffy white head that disappeared quite quickly.

I was a bit worried about some cooked corn aromas but they blew off quickly to leave some nice saaz hoppiness. Some floral notes as well.

Sweet maltiness dominates the palate. There is some nice hop bitterness.

Medium bodied with a sweet cloyingness.

At the heavier end of pils. Didn't do it for me.

A textbook Bohemian pils. Great colour and carbonation; fine beads leading to a billowy head. A saaz nose with some cereal and florals. Some doughiness on the palate but its all good. Well balanced bitterness and a good persistent finish. Spot on I'd say.

Good aroma with a nice mlat aroma teaming up with the Saaz which adds a floral note. There is some light diacetyl suitable for style.

Pale gold colour, fairly clear with a dense, white head. Decent retention.

Good maltiness with a prominent bitterness. The malts are soft and clean while the hop profile is muted with the main character being bitter. There is again some light diacetyl. The finish is relatively well balanced but tilts slightly to the bitter end of the spectrum.

Medium-light body with moderately-high carbonation. Suitable.

A decent beer and a good example of the style. It lacks a bit of X-factor but is solid.
