Clear pale gold color. Short head dropped down to a patchy skiff, leaving a few spots of lacing. Very few bubbles rising to the surface.
A mix of light malt with a bit of barnyard. A hint of dried straw. Swirling the glass kicked up mostly a bit more barnyard.
The flavor is a simple blend of light roasted malt and basic hoppy bitters. The bitters pick up in the aftertaste. This has a touch more bitters than a Pilsner drunk in the Czech Republic, but is fairly typical of a North American version.
Light carbonation, although it does foam up a bit. Feels a little heavy for a Pils.
More typical of a North American Pils than a Czech Pils due to the much stronger hops. Also, not quite as clean as the Czech Pils. The malt could be toned down a bit to get closer to style definition. But something must be done to eliminate the barnyard in the smell - this just doesn't fit with a Bohemian Pilsner at all.

355ml can - part of the current OSB mixed-pack, and named after a mountain, and not a person, which is kind of circular in its logic.
This beer pours a clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly bone-white head, which leaves some random awkwardly webbed lace around the glass as it slowly sinks out of sight.
It smells of grainy and crackery cereal malt, stewed apples and pears, a prominent gasohol essence, and some leafy, floral, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, some mixed domestic pome fruitiness, estery petrol, and more leafy, musty, and hay-like noble hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coating frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with just a touch of hop acridity perhaps making a dent in the surface sheen here. It finishes trending dry, the sturdy graininess starting to lose its own grip on reality amongst the lingering bitterness.
Overall - this brewery was always rather capable at pumping out the middle European styles, and this one is no exception. Nice and crisp, with a solid Saaz hop attitude, I could seriously enjoy a sixer of this at a backyard BBQ over the course of an afternoon.
