40 Beers to Celebrate 40 Years! Day Seventeen


Beer: Golden Pheasant
Type: Pilsner
Region: Slovakia
Rating: Novice

Recommended by food and beverage guru Ranjiv Singh, I could not bypass this beer at the LCBO, and I'm always up for entertaining a good reco.

The beer has a nice, fluffy, white head and the body is quite clear. The colour is, you guessed it, a nice golden hue. The aroma is hoppy and reminiscent of Heineken, but this Pilsner is a bit sweeter and smells of grass.

I'm usually not fond of green bottled beer because I find that they don't filter out enough harmful light, which means that they stay fresh for a shorter period of time, but in a standard 500ml bottle, there's enough Pheasant to finish a meal with.

Na ZdravĂ­!
