Bohemian Pilsner

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a dark golden-amber color with a huge fluffy yellow-white head that lingered forever and left great lacing. The aroma was dryish, spicy, herbal and perfumey. The flavor was malty, dryish and a bit bready with a crisp spicy and perfumey hop presence. Long malty and perfumey hop finish. Medium body. Solid.

Had a big mug of this next to the German Pilsner. Pours a deep orange color with a large white head. A spicy hop nose. The flavor is a robust hoppy Pilsner with loads of Pils malt, big fruity and spicy Noble hops, very clean and good. Nice!

Fresh batch on tap at the Pgh hofhaus. Expensive, almost $7 for a small glass. Nice yellow orange with a big rocky head. Rather mildly sweet pleasant aroma, you can tell this stuff is fresh. Yes, on the first taste this stuff is pilsner bitter but not as much as I have been experiencing in the style lately. It is more mild and much more acceptable to the lager lover. As the session continues, bitterness begins to build. THer is some fruityness in the background of this brew. Fruit first then medium pilsner bitterness follows with each slug. Has that typical hofbrua house background in there that is so prominent in their beers. Finish is not too bad, just a tad of the pilsner bitterness in there.
