Crisp, clean and sessionable, with a firm but rounded hop backbone, Alexandr is the first and original Czech-style pilsner crafted at Schilling. Authentic raw materials shine, and so will almost any beer-friendly food paired with this Czech-inspired lager.

Can at Bucktown in Providence: pours clear gold with white head. Aroma is really grassy, europils, bready malts. Taste is pretty much like a brewery. This literally tastes like a brewery smells. Low bitterness, some sweetness, raw beer ingredients. Quite good.

Draught at the Publick House, 6/25/15
Clear, nicely bright pale yellow with a tint of light brassy-copper. Large, foamy white head shows moderate retention.
Unbelievably well-done hops in the nose are a very authentic mix of dried herbs, hay, fresh cut grass and yet allow light bread dough, toasted baguette and bits of honey to break through, balancing perfectly. Clean, crisp and would almost certainly guess this to be Czech if tasted blindly.
The flavor is even more impressive than the nose, which is saying alot. Cheesey, almost sweaty corn-like notes are produced from the hop and malt interplay, with dry, heavily herbal bitterness and zestiness. Soft, malty body with lively, tight carbonation that, in concert with the bitterness, clears the palate on the end. Honey, toasted sourdough and bits of rich butter (not diacetyl) all provide immense flavors in such a small beer.
Amongst several Allagash beers, Backacre Golden and two Kent Falls beers, this easily stole the show. Great, great brewery and I hope to get back there again soon.
