In May, I've judged at the SMASH Homebrew Competition in Split, including the Best of Show, and the clear winner of the SMASH 3A Chech Pale Lager with Saaz category, and then the BoS for Dimitar, Hrabren and me, was without any doubt, Markku's entry - simply a well made, expensively made, clean, but genuineish take at the style. The organizers finally got a deal to brew the winning beer on a pro scale, and I managed to get some cans from Matejuška in Split, after almost missing out. So my expectations are high, especially knowing the effort Pulfer did to get the genuine ingredients. Did Pulfer fulfil them? Slightly hazy golden-yellow, off-white head, medium retention. Lovely floral-herbal Saaz dominates the aroma, slightly minerally otherwise, vague honeyish malty touches as it warms. Lean, dry, but soft taste, the floral-herbal Saaz absolutely dominating again, just lightly yeasty, without much bitterness, would guess closer to 15 - but hey, the recipe and the concept did force them to use Saaz for bittering, and slightly flat. Not much it terms of maltiness, slightly minerally, plays with astringency a bit, but that's borderline and it remains drinkable, and some bitterness does build up at the end of the tongue, along with a vaguely citric touch (I get the sourness mentioned by some, but it's not sour or tart as such in any way, the hops mimic it). Too lean, too dried out, the vague grainy maltiness plays no role here, and with the too soft/flat seeming taste, it edges it away from top tier status. It's a solid, drinkable take but as with many non-Czech Czech beers - it's noooot quite there.

Can, 0.5l. Cloudy golden pour, one finger soapy white head, medium retention, broken lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, citrus notes, elderflower, light pine, wet grass. Medium body, medium carbonation, fizzy. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, fizzy, prickly, refreshing. Nice chewiness to it. Bitter taste balanced with mild sweetness in the background. Aroma of citruses, ripe tropical fruits, pine, elderflower, orange peel. Grassy notes, spice. Malty background. Subtle lingering alcohol. Medium to long lasting finish, dry and bitter. Tasty.
