Plzeň goes to show that a beer doesn’t need a lot of alcohol to be special. With its fine, hoppy flavour, this 5% blond beer can certainly hold its own against the stronger beers. Brewed only from pale barley malt, this is a floral beer with delightful, hoppy aromas of hay and fresh grass. Deliciously dry, with a long-lasting aftertaste. We named the beer after the Czech town of Plzeň, from which Pilsner beers originate. Despite that, our Plzeň is not a Pilsner; it is a refreshing, bitter, top-fermented beer.

Small white head. Hazy opaque pale yellow body. Yeasty herbal aroma is vague. Dry resiny mealy taste with herbal spicy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, slightly astringent mouthfeel. Dryish milky resiny orangey aftertaste with spicy soft metal notes. Nice, drinkable, odd. Grassy. (0.33l bottle at Café Gollem, Amsterdam.)

Lightly hazy, yellow body. White, rocky splendid head. Very well balanced aroma of hops, flowers, yeast. Quite nice, lightly bitter, lightly sweet flavour - bit floral. Aroma continues in the flavour, but appeals less, still very pleasant.

GBBF 2011. Pale golden with a lasting white head. Grainy malt aroma with grassy/herbal hops and some spicy/fruity yeast notes. Sweet yeasty and fruity flavour. More like a Belgian Blonde

Gravicask at the Belgian & Dutch Bar Vesalius, GBBF ’11. Near-clear, yellow-gold body. No head, but spotty lace to my one-third pint glass. Grassy smell with hints of lemon. Mild taste of sweet noble hops with lighter notes of grain and spices. Smooth bitter endnotes. Refreshing, prima pils (Earls Court, London, 03.08.2011).

Pours slightly hazy gold into a pilsner. Bright white head recedes at a medium pace leaving spider lacing. Marshmallow and lemon aromas. Crisp with sweet cantaloupe upfront turning to bitter lemon pith in the lasting finish.
