12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a bright white head and great retention. Decent lacing. Bright pilsner malt aroma. The taste follows the nose: Bright pilsner malt flavor with a drying finish. Semi-sharp texture. Medium body. Medium-light carbonation. Light bitterness for 45 IBU. Nicely done.

12 ounce can from Lower Merion Beverage in Ardmore, PA. Bright medium gold color. Large pillowy white head. Nice lacing. Grainy malt aroma hints at grassy hops. Flavor is grainy malt and spicy hops. Some peppery hop bitterness in finish.

Decent pils. Not a handball offense, directly leading to a Newcastle goal. Actually thought we looked decent this morning and certainly deserved a point.

Draught at source: pours golden yellow with white head. Aroma is lemony pepper. Taste is very spicy and fairly bitter. Definitely a bit much.

Tap at GBH. Bready, earthy, nice hop tone. Pretty solid Czech Pils for the most part up front. Almost gets too soapy after a few sips. Earthy bitterness. A lot of character, but a little imperfect.
