Hated 22oz bottle (dated 4/26/20) poured into 14oz teku. Poured a clean, clear, bright light gold color with 1/2 inch of bright white head that had moderate retention an low lacing.
The aroma was that of a slightly skunked basic American Lager, no Lemon or Lime really stood out.
Similar on the tongue; basic American Lager, but the fruit did stand out a bit, moreso than in the scent.
The body was nice; crisp clean, good carbonation throughout, and a nicely dry finish.
Drinkability was mostly fine, but the skunk factor was an issue.
Overall, a solid beer, that with less skunk, and more fruit would have rated much higher.

22oz bottle from Reuben's unbound series, dated 042620. Served in a pilsner glass. Pale straw yellow, crystal clear, appropriately pillowy white cloud atop. Suspicious lemon aroma, alarmingly close to lemon Pledge or lemon-flavored seltzer. Flavor has a burst of lemon and lime zest. The mouthfeel, including the body and the carbonation, are true to a pilsner, but the flavor here is completely dominated by these citrus additives. They do taste more natural than they smell, but that citrus flavor is strong, and it is very much distinct from the citrus flavor you get from a C-hop IPA. So, for me, drinkability suffers, which is a bad thing for Bohemian Pilsener.

22oz bottle split with my wife, served in a tulip. Dated 042620, bought it at the brewery a couple weeks ago.
Pours a clear golden with a medium sized head that lasts a long time and a lot of fine, fairly slow carbonation. Smell is slightly citrus, yeast, and some pilsner funk.
Taste is barely suggestive of citrus, with a surprising creaminess up front, that leads directly into a nice classic grassy bitterness.
Mouthfeel although really pleasant is a bit thicker and creamier than I really expect from a pilsner, which makes it a little less crisp. Overall, I like this beer as a relaxer after a couple intense IPAs.
