Pour is a clear brassy gold with a large white head. Aroma is quite hop forward with some bready malt. Flavor is again bready malt with a little hop bitterness and melon. Pretty good pils.

Poured from a can into a becher pint
Pours a clear straw gold with two fingers of eggshell white head that lasts a fair bit leaving lots of sticky lace
Aromas of floral to grassy hops, a bit of yeast in the aroma as well.
Taste follows with with a bit of spice from the hops coming in, light bready yeasty notes before of soft bitterness moves in.
Medium light bodied, medium carbonation, bitterness gives it a nice crisp finish, very sessionable
Overall a nice pilsner I'd gladly revisit, I'd pair this with any sunshine activities.

Dark gold with a large foamy head that lingered and left good lacing. Grainy with cracker, perfume and faint fruity hops. Medium finish and body.

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.
