Bright gold, thin head. Has a mellow pale malt, light bitterness. A bit of saaz. Sort of a random North American attempt at a czech pils.

473mL can, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Nose has gentle spicy Saaz hops, crackery malt, and a touch of straw. Flavour has a reasonably spicy Saaz hops, crackery malt, straw, and a lightly sweet cereal malt finish. I’d like more hops and more bitterness and more crispness, but it’s reasonably constructed. Solid enough.
