A crispy mashup between a Czech and German-Style Pilsner. This golden hue lager is too hoppy to be considered a German Pilsner, yet differs in hops from a true Czech Pilsner. At this conjunction, Paradox Pilsner remains a perfect drinking experience from its old-world Pilsner malt and generous use of noble hops!

Reviewed from notes.
Can to lager glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: floral & grassy hops with a clean bready/crackery malts
Flavor: copies the aromas in a sweet and bitter sort of way; finishes crisp and sweet
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, some smoothness but also some dryness
Overall: nicely done pilsner, a nice easy drinker.

Just a touch of chill haze in this light gold beverage with a decent sized bubbly white head that shows decent retention. Spicy floral hops against a nice bready crackery malt base. Pretty nice pilsner.
