British Columbia review dump.
A- Draft pour to a becher with a clear uber pale yellow body and a small fizzy white cap. Small ring at the edges leaves rare lace spots.
S- Fairly clean aroma that the style requires with just a basal influence of the lager yeast. A bold hint of the grainy base Pils malts and a bit of bread, sweetness and cracker along with that. A tad spicy but low on the hops here.
T- Hops pick up a bit more and the balance of flavors is harmonious on the taste buds. Clean as a whistle with pale barley, bread and spicy Noble hops leading the way. Rounded out by hints of cracker, sweets, pear, lemon and earth.
MF- Very light body held up by a foamy and frothy texture. Carbonation is rather high and it all ends with a light bitterness.
A bit of a milder Pils but that is perfectly fine for this style. Clean with bold Pils grains and a bit of Noble hop flavor.

341ml bottle - a sort of surprising new six-pack to just suddenly (as usual) appear around here.
This beer pours a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves a few instances of stop-motion, exploding water balloon lace around the glass as it slowly and surely recedes.
It smells of bready and doughy pale malt, a subtle earthy yeastiness, biscuity white saltine crackers, a touch of dry honey, and plain leafy, weedy, and grassy hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a hint of honeyed caramel sweetness, soft apple and syrupy pear fruity notes, some weak wet flinty stoniness, and a very tame earthy, leafy, and floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly heady in its oft-challenging frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, the varied sweetness not showing much in the way of cart-upsetting edginess here. It finishes, yeah, sweet, and not particularly bitter at all.
Overall, this is hardly worthy of inclusion in even the mid-range Continental Pils club out there - all because of a dearth of hops, which, coming from this brewery, is a bit hard to believe. Whatever, while not a bad brew, it's just not nearly balanced enough to be considered Czech in style, or hell, German, for that matter.
