Pour is a clear gold with a big white head and lots of carbonation. Aroma is grain and pale malt. Flavor is more grain and pale malt with a little sweetness. Decent, if not a bit underwhelming.

Canned July 22nd.

Pour is on the warm side so there's lots of foam sitting on top of a really really pale liquid.

Oh my gosh, that smell is so full of noble hops with a little bit of bread sneaking through. Saaz dominates.

Mmm...it tastes as good as it smells. Noble hops tickle my palate, it literally screams Czech/Bohemian Pils. No faults that I can detect.

Mouthfeel is better than I expected from a 4.5% abv brew.

This is bloody amazing!
