Reviewed from notes.
Can to lager glass.
Appearance: clear golden color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated adequately to leave some light lace.
Aroma: light grassy to piney to earthy hop spice up front with some bready malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas in a slightly snappy sort of spicy way but blended by the malts for balance; finishes crisp
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; very smooth along the tongue; nothing abrasive or assertive
Overall: now that would be a Czech pilsener, it doesn't get more clear cut than that!

Pint can. Pours a hazy yellow with a big foamy white head that had good retention. The aroma was faded and washed out straw. The taste on the other hand was breads, mild grains and noble hops. Big bready finish. Palate was crisp but seemed just a bit too thin. Overall: Decent, would drink this every day, but $20 a four pack is just a bit too steep for an everyday drinking Pils.

Canned 4/2/24, drunk 6/19/24. Clear, bright golden-brass-bronze. Large, well-retained, white head. Spicy, snappy, crisp nose. Mineral, toasted baguette and lingering fresh herbs. Clean. Bready, malty, spicy and with a pleasing bitterness on the end. Maybe a bit sweeter and maltier than I'd prefer, but it's clean and the flavors are excellent.

16 oz can. Slightly earthy, bready malt flavors. Crisp texture. Body is real light. Ends clean. It is pretty much what you would expect.

Tap at The Hop Shoppe Staten Island. Unclear golden color with white head. Aroma is grassy, cereals, floral. Taste is big grassy and earthy old school hops, crackery malts, dry finish. Oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very decent benchmark Pils!
