Apple, barley malt, and grass/hay aroma. Golden yellow with large off-white head. Mildly sweet barley malt and moderately bitter grass/quinine flavor. Good body. A solid beer.

Perfectly clear deep amber and copper coloured body with a relatively quick-dying two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of grass, metal, light malts, a dash of biscuits, some yeast, wheat, a more pronounced hay and coriander seed freshness with a good hit of light European hops as well, very nice and akin to many of the beers you'd find in Ceska Republica (okay, the Czech Republic). Light to perhaps barely Medium-bodied; Very strong malt component with a biscuity, grainy and very grassy flavour that hits the mark nicely and leaves a strong complexity just in terms of malts, with a light dose of sugars, mainly from caster sugar and a touch of grassy and very perfumey hops noticeable as well - very nice. Aftertaste is rich from the malts with some lighter complexities of subdued European hops with low alpha acids, mellow sugars and a dash of lager yeast notes that add to the complexity, all on a very light scale. Overall, a nice beer that hits the lager notes nicely and still leaves enough complexity to make this worth drinking, while pretending to be a beer that you packed in your suitcase from Prague, but realising it's just from the better city of Detroit (no joke at all, 100% serious) instead. I sampled this twelve fluid ounce bottle, given to me by my dad's friend, purchased from Merchant's in Dearborn, Michigan on 18-October-2016 for US$1,99 sampled at home in Washington, nearly four years later on 08-July-2020 - Thanks Phil!

12 oz bottle. Pours golden, almost clear, with a white head. Pilsener malt aroma with a touch of honey. Pilsener malt flavor, maybe just enough hops to give it a crispness. Not that bad, really.

12 ounce bottle into lager glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with great 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, biscuit, light honey, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of bready malt and earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of cracker, biscuit, light honey, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of cracker, biscuit, light honey, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of bready malt and earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent flavors after the finish. Light dryness from bitterness as well. Very clean on lager flavors, with zero yeast notes present. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.5%. Overall this is a very nice Czech pilsener style! All around nice robustness and balance of bready malt and earthy hop flavors; very smooth, clean, and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
