A beautiful gold with a majestic head. Lacing a little less than the head would lead you to expect but decent. Little carbonation visible.
I saw no indication on the bottle that this was a pils but my nose knew immediately. A sweet and lightly buttery malt is the main player. A traditional Czec hop profile follows. Earthy with a light spiciness.
Taste showcases an excellent malt base by the brewer. This flows light a lightly sweet honeybun over the tongue. A breakfast pastry like yeast and bread core. Herbal and earthy hops give good balance with a touch of spiciness in the finish that also squeezes some grapefruit juice out to wet your whistle. Feel is smooth and with a tingly light creaminess. Spot on weight gives it a supple feel as it flow across the mouth.
A great session beer that goes down easy and with pleasure.
Thanks to The Rowan for this one

A: Pours a straw yellow color with a fingers worth of head that fades down to a decent cap
S: Mostly grainy with notes of fruitiness and spicy European hops. Pilsner malt present as well
T: Follows the nose. Starts off with hits of pilsner malt and grain, followed by a very light fruitiness and spiciness. Finishes with lingering graininess
M: Light-medium bodied with moderate carbonation
O: A solid summer pilsner with moderate drinkability. Has some nice subtleties that keep you coming back for more

07/25/13 At Rattle N Hum, NYC. On tap. Nice & refreshing. I could drink this all day if I wasn't so distracted by the other 39 taps. The nice dry finish makes you want just one more, which must be intentional. Well done.
