Can fromTapRm: pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma is slightly lemony and grassy. Taste is lightly bitter, some sweetness. Fizzy yellow beer. Not bad.

Big clear pale bubby beer. Yes, lots of visible carbonation in this brew.Taste is sharp as ever for a pils, but now I see its a swetty. Yes, a tad stringent bitter in the from then in the middle I think it starts to grow on you and you think yer getting used to it. Tight bitter. finish too, Leaves a bitter taste in your mouth for a while at the end of the session.

12 oz. can. Pours a hazy light gold color with a white head and very good retention. Decent lacing. Sharp pilsner aroma. The flavor matches the nose. Sharp pilsner flavor with a soft hoppy finish. Good example of the style without being extreme. Well done.

Pretty good. Super dry, to the point that it was almost too light but not quite really. But that super dry aspect seems appropriate for a real czech style pils they were aiming for. Fairly bitter, with grassy hopping. Very pale, almost straw color.

12 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 6/12/2019. Pours slightly hazy pale golden/straw/yellow color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. A bit of fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice aromas with good balance of pale malts and earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of lemon, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, peppercorn, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome robustness and balance of pale malts and earthy hop flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with no fruity/yeasty notes. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is an excellent Czech pils. All around great robustness and balance of pale malts and earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish; not overly aggressive. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesome clean pils malt showcase, with perfect Noble Saaz hop presence/balance. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp drying. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on style example.
