Occidental's take on the lager style that changed the beer world forever. This is a largely Bohemian-style pilsner with a bit of a Bavarian pedigree. Crisp, clean and dry. Czech hops crown this beautiful beer.

16 oz can from Pilgrim’s. Pours clear golden with a thick pillowy white head with excellent retention. Aroma is grainy, chalky candy, a bit lemony, basic pils. Taste is sweet and grainy, finishing with a light noble hop bitterness. Authentic--really tastes like it could be from the Czech Republic. A little too sweet for me, though.

Crystal clear golden with a tall white head. Very light aroma with some wet cereal grains. Flavor follows along with hardly any character at all. Thin body. Slight earthy crisp finish. Would be a great tailgate brew or summer refresher. Not a lot going on.

Tin. Worth Coming back to rate. Lekker hop aroma, but restrained. This is NOT a hop bomb. Pilsner taste, nicely bitter with a good malt backbone. Lively body, bubbles well even when tinned. Golden with a snow white head. Well worth seeking out. Saraveza in Portland has it. I’ll have to go to Occidental’s taproom to drink it at the urquell.

On tap at Stateside Craft, pours a clear pale copper yellow with a small white head. Aroma smells authentic enough, with dry grains and grassy hops. Flavour is fairly bland, even for a pilsner, but brewed to style, with lots of grains and subtle grassiness. Not the most exciting pils, but drinkable and well-balanced. Not bad.

Blond color, seems hazy, with small head, but nice lace. Aroma of cereals, corn husks, a bit stale. Smooth mouthfeel, almost round; a bit too sweet and without malt crispness; fairly strong bitterness but no clear sign of noble hop. The final too is sweetish, and with light fruitiness.
Funny because at the bar it’s described as Euro-pils, while it’s rather American-pils instead.
