This is a decent Pilsner - nothing wrong, but nothing great about it. The color and smell are certainly on point for the style. I found the carbonation and overall feel a bit underwhelming. The malt profile and Saaz hope work well together - it's a tasty and easy drinking beer, for sure.

Appearance - Pours a clear straw gold with a finger of foamy white head.
Smell - grassy and touch of spicy saaz hops, straw, toasted grains, biscuity malts.
Taste - Starts with the grassy hops alongside a hint of the saaz hops followed by the straw, toasted grains, and biscuity malts.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes dry with a lingering soft bitterness from the saaz hops.
Overall - An easy drinking Czech Pilsner. The malt profile was done well but I was hoping the saaz hops would of been a little more in tune with the malts to make it more true to the style.
