A very easy drinking beer with full flavor. Don't normally drink Pilsener style beers but if this one were available year round I would drink it more often. The first taste really surprised me, very satisfying!

Light, bright golden color with white cap and lacing.
Aroma of sweet malt and slightly firm floral hops.
On entry there is a malt presence that manages to be full without being rich, rather a dry firmness which is quickly matched by the hops. Brewer's description doesn't say what hops but they taste noble to me and seem to be use as bittering rather than dry hopping. Yet they're not really bitter but firm comes close to the mark. A mouth filling burst of malt and hops that wake up the palate while remaining dry. A touch of sweetness does appear in the aftertaste that is balanced by hop bitterness. Flavors become richer as the beer warms.
Texture is full for the style with balancing carbonation.
The last time I had this same taste impression was the first time I tasted Pilsner Urquell. Now, I'm not saying they're the same, that's just the comparison that came to mind. This is not as complex as the original, or as polished, sorta like a relative who immigrated to America but kept in touch with his roots. The only specs I've got from the brewer are 1052 OG and 37 IBU if that gives you any idea. I suppose we could call it Pilsner and leave it at that but it does scream Czech to me.
