I got a can of this beer from my bestie from Charlotte, NC whom got it from a beer of the month club mixed pack. It poured a clear golden with thin white head that is leaving a spotty lace. The scent had saaz hop notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with bright malt base with grain and grasslike presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a great beer.

Slightly hazy, light gold look. Lightly scented, light toast malt, a little yeast and a bit of floral hops, slightly bright, light toasted, caramelized malt and floral (noble) hops in balance. Really enjoyable.

A bit of a miss; lighter golden body, mild perfume-y malt, minimal hop bite not really evoking Saaz, lighter bodied, fine carbonation, a bit too dry of a finish. Doesn't get particularly close to the mark, but not offensive.

4.24/5  rDev +6.5%
look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
Look: Pale yellow, semi-clear, with a huge head that dissipates quickly leaving spotty lacing behind
Aroma: Pilsner malt, cut grass, some spicy hops notes, and cracker-like malt notes
Taste: All grassy and slightly spicy hops up front and then the delicious crackery pilsner malt crashes the party. Super crisp and clean finish with low dryness
Mouthfeel: Light, crisp, and medium-high carbonation – quaffable
Overall: Diggin’ it. Tasty American take on a Bohemian Pils and hits all the right notes. A perfect finish after a long bike ride here in Sunriver. A definite re-buy for me but then again, I’m a sucker for all pilsners anyways. Good stuff here

a tasty and brisk bohemian pils here, but when i was here i also picked up some cans of their italian pils, which as a summer drinker with a ton of character, i would prefer over this one, especially for extended session drinking, but both are excellent examples of their respective styles, and i enjoyed this on their patio fresh from the tap. its got a high rising white head with a slow fade, an light straw color, and lots of visible carbonation. it smells like noble hops up front but doesnt taste all that hoppy to me at all, a light limey sort of saaz type note, but im not sure what they use. very clean and simple european malt base to this, a very pure and light barley taste, not as dusty and bold as it can often be in these, and really fresh tasting, a light doughy note from the yeast brings it up in the mix, but this is mellow drinking beer even for the style. some clean minerality is nice in the finish, the rushing carbonation makes it exceedingly refreshing, and the soft herbal finish from the hops rounds it out beautifully, great balance and refinement. a tasty and high quality offering here, less distinct and compelling to me than the italian pils, but they did a good job with it. i dont think they make anything less than an awesome beer in here, no matter what style. great warm weather quencher here.

Very light straw golden color with perfect clarity and a soap-sudsy white foam above with light streams of bubbles supporting a mild retention and good lacing.

Smells proper. Light grains, a touch of honey, and heavy on the dried grasses.

The flavors are simple, and perfectly melded. Honey, lemon, grain, grass, pepper. Equally distributed, none overwhelming the other.

Superbly clean, crisp, bright, and balanced. Perfect carbonation, wonderful texture.

For my taste, this is quite sublime. It's perfectly balanced meaning sweet and bitter elements integrating seamlessly. An absolute must for Pilsner fans, and an all-day, everyday drinker.

Prost, and huge props to defencorps for the suggestion!
