Deep golden colour, slightly hazy but still transparent. Average sized, quite frothy white head, shows good enough retention and nice lacing. Average intensity in the aroma: a deeper than usual malty base, with a slightly fragrant feeling hay/straw base, cerealy hints, perhaps a bit of worty reminiscence. But also distinct hoppiness, with dry floral notes and just a hint of fresh grassiness. Ok but not excellent in definition. Gets a bit better in taste, with now quite good intensity and definition. Taste notes as per aroma, with a hint of honey adding to malty depth. Relatively (per style) high sweetness and bitterness, with good overall balance in taste and a pleasantly dry finish/aftertaste. Light to medium body with slightly below average, soft/delicate carbonation, resulting in a pleasantly soft but still pretty smooth mouthfeel. Overall: a malty leaning interpretation of the style, with malty depth shining over hoppy notes, but with a dry balancing bitterness that doesn't quit. And well executed at that. Relatively bold but well balanced. Good stuff!

Aroma of grains, pale malts, bread, light hops. Flavour is malty and grainy with a little bitterness in the aftertaste. Very good Czech Pilsner.

Can from HoTM. It pours lightly hazy golden - blonde with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is freshly baked bread, pie crust, biscuit, nutty, cereal, hay, straw and a touch of peppery spice. The taste is firmly dry, punchy lingering bitterness, grassy, damp hay, straw, floral, crispy, snappy, minerality, farmhouse style white bread, floury, peppery spice and cracker with a dry, bitter linger. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Flavourful and satisfying.
