Light and deceptively delicious. Saaz hops impart soft, floral, and grassy aromas, complemented by a clean, bitter finish.

Can from Beer Boutique, New York. Aroma is grainy with hay, grassy and a bit floral-ish hops, some straw. Flavour is light sweet with a moderate to medium bitterness. Body is medium. Excellent Czech style Pils.

16 oz cup, guest tap at Smuttynose. Aroma and flavor are Pilsner malt, weak honey-ish hints. Decent crispness. Light bodied. Everything you expect.

Pint at the BRKLYN Beer Garden in JFK. Pours a clear, straw color, with a medium, white head. The nose is bitter orange peel, quinine, cereals, and pine. Sweet and malty, with a sharp, aggressive bitterness. Light body, with a crisp and astringent feel. This is a mediocre pilsener, at best.

Can at the apartment in Brooklyn - sourced from Top Hops. Pours clear honey-good with a foamy, pure white head. Lovely pils, nice biscuity character, soft grassy bitterness, some straw. Light bodied with average carbonation. Lightly crisp in the finish, a little dough, more biscuit, hay. Sound.

12 oz. can purchased from Top Hops Beer Shop in New York City. Pours a clear gold color with a white head and good retention. Fair lacing. Typical sharp malt aroma. Straightforward crisp and sharp pilsner malt flavor. Medium-light bitterness. Good example of the style.
