12 ounce bottle into lager glass, bottled on 12/18/2017. Pours crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light pepper/pine, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malts and moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. A touch fruity/yeasty, but not overwhelming. Taste of big cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, pepper, pine, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish. Moderate pine, herbal, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, pepper, pine, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast notes present. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.8%. Overall this is a delicious Czech Pilsener style. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink; despite the increasingly bitter/drying finish. A bit more aggressive on the hops than I expected, but it's not overwhelming. All English sourced malt and hops for a collaboration with Shepherd Neame. Clean pils malt and balanced earthy hop flavors. A very enjoyable offering, and nice style example.
