Every year, millions of tons of single-use plastic finds its way into streams, rivers and oceans — and the problem is only getting worse.

We’re teaming up with our fellow nature-lovers at Costa Sunglasses to mobilize a movement and help protect our watery world. Together we can #KickPlastic.

This Czech-style pils pops with herbal notes and tropical fruit aroma, balanced by malty, oceanic characters on the palate.

Can. Gold in color with a three finger head. Taste and arom is pretty much just an average pilsner lager.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Aroma is nicely grassy and floral-ish hops with grainy biscuity malt, hay, and grass. Light sweet, mild bitter, dry finish. Medium body. Excellent Pilsner, the way I like 'm.

Beetje vlak, licht hoppig. Dacht eigenlijk dat het een soort american pale ale was

Clear, ever so slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thin, off-white head that fades relatively quickly. Aroma of crisp, biscuity malts with a dash of flowers and light spices with a good yeast, grass and light caster sugar near the finish. Light-bodied; Strong malty and herbal flavours dominate with a light sweetness from apples and caster sugar and a touch of hay, with some yeast and floral happiness which shows, especially at the end. Aftertaste is very easy-drinking and soft with only some light biscuity malts and grain noticeable, and a dash of floral and grassy bitterness from the hops on the end. Overall, a soft and herbal finish with a good profile throughout that is pretty easy-to-drink and still showing some malts, sweetness and yeast, with a nice biscuity profile and some yeast as well. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Pentagon Row), Virginia on 19-November-2019 for US$1,87 sampled at home in Washington on 26-November-2019.

12 oz. can. Pours a hazy yellow color with a thick white head and great retention. Very good lacing. Has a sweet light hops aroma. Soft pilsner malt flavor with a light sweet finish. Very limited bitterness. Not as sharp as a classic pilsner either, but that's okay. Easy drinking and very repeatable.
