1L, capped swing-top bottle. The thought of a real 'Czech Pils' is a good one of late, given all the sunny early Spring weather we've been having!
This beer pours a hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with three fat-ass fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and very bubbly off-white head, which leaves a bit of sparse island atoll lace around the glass as it slowly but surely sinks away.
It smells of bready and grainy pale malt, wet saltine crackers, some muddled citrus and pome fruitiness, a suggestion of thin gasohol, and rather understated leafy, grassy, and floral hop bitters. The taste is more bready and doughy pale malt, a twinge of caramel sweetness, stunned yeast, wet stone, stale orange and grapefruit fleshy notes, and some still very plain leafy, weedy, and grassy green hoppiness.
The bubbles are fairly robust in their supportive and sometimes frolicking frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and not particularly smooth, as a weird clammy otherness seems to be there from the get-go. It finishes off-dry, the rising bread malt the only essence that appears to have any sort of staying power.
Overall, the quasi-literal interpretation of this one's name says it all - a Pils that plunges itself, as in missteps, errs, what have you. Yeah, loose, I get it, but it stands - this is nothing all that close to the better versions of the style, i.e. crisp, grainy, and certainly hoppier. Don't expect much.
