Solid cereal nose, with slme hints of lemon and some lovely slightly spicy, grassy hops. Mouth feel is a bit watery, the same goes for the finish. Light bitterness, with some more zesty hopping. The malts fade, but make a lasting impression. Good pils.

Updating my rating since the previous one was probably an old can. On tap at Steamworks Mount Pleasant. Biscuit malts and grassy hops on the nose. Flavour has dry grass, cracker malts. A bit seltzery. Not much of the skunky nonsense I got before. It's okay, but still far from an authentic Czech pilsner.

473mL can. Pours clear pale yellow with small head. Aroma has dry grass and cracker malts. Flavour initially has dry grass, some biscuit malts, a bit sweet. Fall off very rapidly and develops an unpleasant skunky character. Graceless incompetence.

Draft at the Vancouver airport lounge. Pours a hazy yellow color with a white head and good retention. Great lacing. Bright malt aroma. Lemony malt flavor up front, with a lightly sharp pilsner malt finish. Lightly bitter. Smooth and clean. Medium body. Medium carbonation.

Paper and straw. Not a lot of nobel hops here, or anything really. Crisp enough but more like a pale lager than a pilsner. Golden pour with ok head. Bottle at a restaurant.

Draught. Golden and sparkling...looks nice. Sweet malts, just a touch of hops, wonderbread malts...light Germanic hop in the finish.

500 ml can fro the brewery. Biscuity, lemony nose, creamy. Rather sweet and fruity, orange, light peach, biscuits, creamy. Peppery, lightly bitter finish. Decent enough.

500ml or so can. Slightly hazy yellow-tan body. Attractive enough, but has some bile, stomach acid off tones in the aroma that pretty much kill it for me. It is close to really nice, but that off tone seriously detracts. Not a beer I would buy again.
