Bohemian Pilsener straight from Moravia, brewed since the late 19th century - the kind of local classic in Czech beer culture I should taste a lot more of. Thanks tderoeck for sharing! Thick and frothy, egg-white, moussey, shred-lacing head over a deep peachy-orangey blonde robe with some loose strings of sparkling running throughout. Aroma of bread crust, dried flowers, moist white pepper, rusk, dry cereals, wild grasses, minerals. Clean onset, crisp with fizzy carb (sharper than expected even for the style); smooth to almost thinly creamy cereally pale malt sweetishness of a pure and honest kind, all-malty of course, gradually bittered by grassy, somewhat weed-leafy hop bitterness, while the carbonation keeps adding a kind of minerality reminiscent of spring water from a well in the Moravian hills. As classic as it gets for a Czech Pilsener, perhaps less known than some of its congeners, but stylistically ticking all the boxes. No surprises here, just very solid, pure, straight to the point and clear as a mountain stream.
