355ml bottle - they felt the need to display the Czech flag on something called 'Czechmate Pilsner'. And again with a picture of a barrel.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat fizzy off-white head, which leaves some sudsy soapscum lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, white saltine crackers, a hint of petrol fumes, and some herbal, spicy, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy pale malt, faint gasohol, ethereal lemon-forward citrus rind, a hint of stoney flintiness, and more understated earthy, musty, and grassy noble hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite tame in its bored-seeming frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a mild clamminess arising as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes trending dry, the malt fading, with the old-school hops holding the lingering bag.
Overall - this comes across as a sort of plebeian version of the style, with the initial promise in the aroma not followed up on in the flavour. Not to mention the lack of crispness, an essential part of the true Czech Pils experience. Pass.
