On tap at the brewery. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Dry grass on the nose. Flavour has dry, grassy, herbal hops and a crisp malty base. Great Saaz expression. Very nicely done.

473mL can, pours a clear blonde with a medium white head. Aroma has a nice hop expression of piney hops, grassiness, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is much the same, with big piney hops, some grassiness, and crisp crackery malt. Like a cross between a pils and WCIPA, more like the latter. Bright piney, moderately bitter finish. Very good.

On tap at Brassneck, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has bright piney hops, biscuity malt, and even some fruitiness. Flavour seems fruitier and brighter for a Cascade-only pale ale, with piney hops, gentle fruitiness, and crisp biscuity malt. Bright, crisp and clean. Solid.

473mL can, pours a clear bright golden with a medium, fluffy white head. Aroma brings out lots of spicy Saaz in signature Czech fashion, with light grassiness, and a crisp crackery malt base. Flavour is likewise very crisp and nicely hopped, with that Saaz showing itself off nicely, finishing crisp and crackery, with moderate lingering bitterness. Great local Czech pils.

Amber, with some haze. Medium head. Berryish, fruity hop overtone with rich crystal malt, lots of bitterness, grapferuit rind, bit of pine, all the classic notes. Not that far off from Spirit of Dixmas, actually.

Amber and a murky sort of haze. Medium head. Yeasty, some toasty notes. Medium body and balanced bitterness. Simple malt profile but for me it’s more the yeastiness that’s not sitting well.

473mL can, pours a dark amber with a medium white head. Aroma seems on-point, with plenty of bready malt, toasted dry caramel, and a bit of toasted nuts. Flavour is dry and robustly malty, with a nice dry bready malt character, some bread crusts, and a bitter toasted nutty finish. Really on style and nicely constructed. Very good.

On tap at Brassneck, pours a clear bright pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of bitter woody pine and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is bitter and biting, with lots of woody piney hops, a touch of bitter citrus peel, and crisp biscuity malt to back. Lovely biting piney hops, with great bitterness on the finish. Excellent.
