341ml bottle, part of the current Dead Frog mixed-pack. I know they have a few other pilsners in their stable, but, change the name, and, presto, new beer time! (Until otherwise notified).
This beer pours a clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, broadly foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some layered streaky and sudsy lace around the glass as it quickly evaporates.
It smells of grainy and crackery pale malt, further dry cereals, a hint of estery gasohol, dead yeast, and plain leafy, weedy, and stale grassy green hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy pale malt, a touch of wet white saltine cracker, some overripe apple and pear fruitiness, thankfully fading yeasty phenols, and more weak leafy, floral, and dead grassy hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly inert on the tongue after its opening frothy gambit, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, none of the aforementioned flaws caring enough to mess around with something as banal as mouthfeel, it would seem. It finishes well off-dry, that malt a persistent bastard, while the still unwelcome yeast and wan hops play out their time.
Overall, not a particularly engaging or interesting Pils of any stripe - I picked German, because it's the default when I suspect that the specs are not up to the Czech standard - biased, moi? Of fucking course I am! At any rate, this isn't all that difficult to drink, really, but it's just not crisp enough, and certainly not ready for prime time.
