WOw, this beer looks awesome, super clear, and golden, with a beautiful full white head. Awesome aroma of bready malt, and some really nice bitter czech hops. Flavour is sooooooo nice, super crisp, and so well balanced. Awesome sweet bready malt, along with a really nice bitter hop twang. Absolutely spot on for the style, easily one of the best Pils i have ever had. If you love pils, do yourself a favor, get some of this.

12 oz. can from Total Wine - Naples, FL. Pours a clear yellow-gold color with a bright white head and good retention. Spotty lacing. Not much aroma. Very sharp pilsner malt flavor up front, with a medium bitter finish, but not a hoppy flavor. Crisp mouthfeel and good carbonation. Medium-light body. Good example of the style.

355ml can. Pours a clear pale gold with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Mild aroma of toasted grainy malt and grass. Sweet flavour of grainy malt, lemon, bitter grass and spicy hops in a crisp, dry finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Refreshing and crushable.

Pours from 12oz can(room temp) a hazy straw gold with a huge head of foam that takes a long time to diminish and leaves a solid layer with lacing. Nice looking Pilsner.
The smell is hoppy with some malty notes as well.
The taste is nice and hoppy but not over the top. There's citrus there, mainly lemon, with a nice malt backbone. Very well balanced indeed and that makes it so smooth and drinkable. The finish starts off slightly bitter but ends cris and clean. The German influence can readily be tasted in this Pilsner...wow, I like this one a lot!!
Bottom line: A *great* Pilsner that would make an oustanding session beer for me if it was available locally.
Big thanks go out to Nutbrown for this sample!

Can from Booths, Media City. Yellow-blonde with a small head. Has an interesting fusion of lager malts and fruit, with the latter of these providing a fair amount of flavour.

12 ounce can. Pale gold color. Large rocky white head. Grainy malt nose. Sweet grainy malt flavor. Slightly bready with a crisp hop character. Some fruity malt, but the noble hops are quite noticeable. A nice interpretation of a Euro Pils.
