Machine Czech Pilz
Bunker Brewing Co.

As a fan of Czech pale lagers and pilsner-style lagers, I absolutely loved Machine!

It is more of a pale lager with a slight hint of a sulphuric and smoky rauchbier-ness. Pilsners have a slightly different flavor profile.

But nevertheless, it looks extremely inviting. Rich golden color. Some light haziness.

Smells like summer and fresh baked sourdough bread.

Tastes a touch malty, a touch smoky, a touch sulphuric (in a good way). There's no best before or brewed on date on the can.

WORTHY!

 

 

Great Pilsner, solid mix of smoothness and crispness. Not too much carbonation but still has just enough bite. Very good
Thin head remains throughout. Buttery and slightly zesty. Flavor sticks around but not overwhelming.

I strongly believe a well made pilsner is as close to art as beer gets, and this is that. Crisp, bready (slash banana bready), mildly peppery, delicious.

 

 

Really surprised this doesn't rate higher. Glad I took a chance on it anyway, as for my tastes it's delicious. Beautiful pour with the best head retention I've ever seen on a lager. Well-balanced, with a light but flavorful crackery malt profile. Perfect Saaz character in the finish which is slightly dry and begging for another sip. Yummy stuff.

Pilsner - Czech
Notes:

Super crisp and light bodied, herbal, old world style hop flavor with both tangy earth and green herbs. Very smooth going down and rather complex overall for a pilz. The malt is very clean, lightly buttered toast and tangy sweetness rides throughout.

Look: clear and dark yellowish with some bubbles. Nothing special or that interesting to look at.

Smell: malt and peppery with a hint of yeast/bread. Smells great.

Taste: lager malt and almost a banana bread like experience in the middle with a shaper finish. After taste reminds me a little of pairs.

Feel: pretty light bodied with not to much carbonation.

16oz can into a tall Pilsner glass.
L: Pours straw light pale yellow w a massive 3+" foamy sudsy bright white head w a giant cap, VG retention, large carbo bubbles, semi-thick soapy lacing.
S: Light grass, herbs, bread, a wisp of lemon, honey.
T: Gently sweet malts, a hint of cereal grains, light yeast, crackery biscuit, spicy hops, a layer of zest citrus fruit, a touch of honey, wildflower.
F: Crisp, clean, fast med-light body, fast finish w a very light linger. Lightly dry. Water is soft.
O: Took 5 min to pour. Looks excellent and is great tasting as well. It has a mildly zesty short-lived linger. A fairly traditional take on this Pilsner. It is very good in its style.

 

 

Served from the can in a Lagunitas mason jar.

Pours a clear brass topped by a finger of lightly off-white foam. The nose comprises lemongrass, lemon zest, mild biscuit, and light honey. The taste brings in more of the same, the lemon a bit stronger, and things progress into the spicy hop realm as things progress down the tongue and through time. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a wet feel. A pretty nice Czech-ish pils.

 

 

Poured from a 16 oz can; born some time in May '21. A solid czech pilsner - pours straw yellow with plenty of effervescent bubbles and great (initial) foamy head that rapidly recedes. Great subtle hops bitterness with a touch of malt backbone. Very refreshing and crushable. Nicely done.

16oz. can served in my FF dimpled mug. Pours a straw gold with a fizzy, 1/8th inch head that quickly sizzles and pops as it disperses into a thin, consistent dollop. There's a slight haze to the complexion. Nose is grassy and herbal with notes of lemon. Taste follows nose with a slight, herbal bite at the finish. Mouthfeel is light in body with a lively carbonation. Overall, a decent example of the style, but missing some clean, bready qualities I've come to appreciate in the style.
