[1] Review by mmmmBeer from Edmonton, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (3/1/2007 2:46:24 PM)
"The beer resting in my glass looked golden to light brown in color a bit more gold then brown though, a 1” rocky fizzy head was produced at pour but just a small covering of tiny bubbles remained after a minuet or two, tons of bubble columns floated up to the top of my glass looks very nice. Skunk / sour malt attack my nose, very strong intense odor maybe even some wheat and yeast can be detected, not enjoying this aroma one bit. Right from the first sip my response to the taste of this brew is BLAAAACH!!! Tons of strong sour tasting malts way stronger then most Euro lagers, a sweet lingering after taste and at the back of my throat I swear I’m tasting egg yolk, there also seems to be some perfume taste only noticeable on large gulps. I can’t stand this beer or the many just like it (eastern European lager) Just not a fan of this flavor they all seem to have and this one has it in spades, but I should have known what I was in for by the fact the bottle had the word premium on it, all beers that have that printed on the label suck. Thank god this brew is now finished, this entire review was done while watching “ The Breakfast Club “ "

"Perfect clear gold \ orange beer tht poured a nice head that lasted at the skim level only and produced some lacing. Good aroma! Fresh with malts, a little grassiness and slight lemon and the tiniest of skunk hanging around. Taste was very clean and well balanced with a appealing drying bitterness which was on the hard bitter side due to a proper ammount of hops and good tasty malts. Mouthfeel was smooth with a bit of alcohol taste on the tongue. Quite dry and strong bitter aftertaste. Filling beer too. Very very easy to drink - I like this more than I thought I did."

[3] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer once. (3/22/2006 4:53:28 PM)
"Poured a clear orangey-gold, nice frothy cap that dissipated to a glass clinging lace. Signature floral saaz hop aroma mingled with sweet grain smells. Starts fairly crisp, citrus tang, light mouth feel with that wonderful pilsner thirst busting tartness....then finishes dry with a lingering metallic after taste from the hops.
A very good representation of the Bohemian lager genre and a premium export beer. Buy some if you like their pilsner."

[4] Review by oh6gdx from Vaasa, Finland who has tried this beer a couple times. (2/8/2006 1:50:54 AM)
"A bit hazy, orange/golden colour with small white head, which disappears completely. strong barley and malt mix in aroma, with some hints of honey. Bready flavour with a bit of hops, honey in finish. Honeyish aftertaste. Mouthdrying. A bit heavy carbonation in my opinion, otherwise very nice. "

[5] Review by BigBry from Calgary, Canada who has tried this beer once. (6/27/2005 1:02:33 AM)
"Pours a golden / orangey color with a full white head. Foam is a mix of large and small bubbles covering the liquid, but didn't leave any lacing. Hold it up to the light and it is a bit cloudy, even some small floaties suspended in there - doesn't affect the taste though. There is a bit of a metallic smell, but overall it is a hoppy spice aroma. This beer has a crispness that you expect from this style. Pretty basic pilsner type flavor - crisp, clean, easy to drink. It does leave a bit of that spicy and slightly metallic aftertaste."
