About
Foam. It's always been an unconscious calling like drifting into a cumulus cloud bank on a sun-drenched day, or collapsing in a frothy curl of a breaking wave. Foam; it's natural beauty that rises up and is here and gone in a moment in time. I have spent my working life in foam, beer foam that is, brewing beer, conjuring up mixtures of malt and hops to ferment into a crowning moment of beer. Great beer has always sat under foam. Foam. It's not one ingredient that gives stability; it's many interwoven to create a structure of strength pouring out visual excitement. As I sit for a time, I enjoy that moment. All that remains is the lacing that adorns the empty glass and the making of a great memory. Until next time, see you under the Foam...

Pours murky gold into a willi. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Tangerine and melon aromas. Soft with sweet white smarties, lemon meringue, lime and underripe melon upfront turning to dusty melon rind in the medium length finish.

Canned 4/15/26, drunk 5/30/26.
Soft and easygoing with pine-accented tropical and citrus fruits. Nothing too intense. More subtlety than the bolder, brasher, mega-juice-and-fruit of its brethren to the North and South. Healthy mix of cracker and white bread-like malts. Clean and polished.
Bigger malt profile than expected from the nose, but it's still balanced by good attenuation and lots of woody notes, pine and citrus with above average bitterness. Tropical fruit character helps lighten the mood. Very malty, but not syrupy or too sluggish of a texture (pushing it, though).

Canned 4/15/26, drunk 5/29/26.
Bit softer and fruitier than a traditional/classic APA a la SNPA. Some yellow apple and minor stone fruit giving it that New England twist. Clean and no toasted character from the malt, nor overboiled C hop. Despite its appearance, it smells much more like a NEPA than an APA.
Bigger bitterness up front with some petrol/rubber band/iodine. That is odd. Soft, malty texture with no obnoxious toast or caramel from the malt. Smoke lingering. This tastes like a smoked pale ale. Did something go wrong with my can? Not getting any actual hop character, just heavily peppered smoke and bitterness. Tastes great, honestly! But obviously unintended.

Poured from a can into a becher pint
Pours a pale golden yellow with a finger and a half of soft foamy head that slowly settles leaving plenty of sticky stringy lace
Aroma is herbal grassy hops, mild spicy hop notes with some yeast in there
Taste takes the aroma and adds some light biscuity notes and amplifies the spicy hop character a bit, a nice subtle bitterness plays nicely
Mouthfeel is slick and light bodied, medium carbonation and an easy bitterness make a crisp and fairly dry finish.
Overall a very sessionable and very enjoyable czech pils, one I'd have anytime, I'd gladly crack this while grilling or by the campfire.
