500ml glass at Biera, as is the norm around here - growlers from this brewpub not part of my current lifestyle choice, as such.
This beer appears a hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy eggshell white head, which leaves some layered cirrus cloud pattern lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of bready and crackery pale malt, subtle lemon and very dry white grapefruit rind notes, a weird sense of cotton candy sweetness, and more leafy, weedy, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is gently toasted and grainy pale malt, further generic breakfast cereals, some ethereal lemon and overripe drupe fruitiness, a hint of earthy yeast, and more leafy, herbal, and wet grassy verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly aggressive in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a thin airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad in the glass. It finishes trending dry, the malt going all Bohemian crackery, alongside the lingering indistinct new world hops.
Overall, this is certainly a well-made lager, one breaching the gap between Czech proficiency and North American bravado. However my opinion of it falls somewhere in the middle - it feels like a little too much was ceded by both sides here.
