Nice golden color with a decent head with good retention, appearance is quite nice just had some floating particles if you pay close attention (ps. 7 months to expiration date).
Malty bread aroma with hints of grassy hops, a bit subtle, though following style.
Refreshing and crispy taste, medium bitterness from grassy hops, not bad for a pilsner. Mild aftertaste a bit dry and bitter.
Light to medium body with a good carbonation. Faithful to style and good Czech pilsner.

From a 600 mL bottle I believe, weird spelling, a very Eastern European looking label, thanks Jon, let's check it out.

A: Pours goldenrod with a solid white head, small bubbles, good lace.

S: A light aroma, but is to style. Grassy herbal hops, bready malt.

T: Classic Czech style flavours. Pils malt, sourdough bread, grass, floral hops.

M: Light-bodied, crisp and very clean. Refreshing.

O: A very well done pils from an area of the world that I've had a lot of shaky efforts. My first from Klein.

In case you're wondering, it's pronounced like "check". Purchased in Curitiba and opened in California, this was one of the more anticipated beers I purchased on my last trip to Brazil. On to the beer:

What the heck, its color almmost looks orange! There is decent fluff of head with okay retention, and spotty lacing ringimg around. It smells like a Czech, with some grassy aromas and hop pedals working their way in the nose.

At first, there seems to be a fusel and buttery note. While present throughout, it doesn't become annoying and ruin the enjoyment of the beer. Quickly thereafter, there's a reasonable hop bitterness, some grass and grain tag along. It's light bodied with a refreshing crispness, and is a joy to drink. Still, there is just something missing from the picture that would take it to the next level that I hoped to get. Whatever, this is a good Czech pilsner.
