At 45 IBU this is a czech style pilsner with a "keller" amount of haze! Dry hopped with saaz hops for the noblest of palates! A perfect pilsner for porches and patios! Na zdravi!

The smell brings aromas of strong hops, floral herbs, and some moist bread. The body begins with a very floral and sweet, hoppy wave backed up by just a bit of spice. Overall, sweet but also crisp and smooth. Not bad

12oz can. Poured out a crystal clear, golden yellow color with a small, white head of fizzy foam. It left some sudsy lace on the glass. It smelled of grains, caramel, toffee and floral notes. Sweet caramel taste with orange and a subtle bitterness.

12oz can into a tall pilsner glass.
L: Pours a lightly yeast hazed semi-dull straw yellow with a thin, airy white head that dissipates to edge foam. Good carbonation with virtually no lacing.
S: Fresh baked white crusty bread, light caramel malts and mildly nutty.
T: Very traditional pilsner tastes of white crusty crackery bread, generous light caramel malts, a subtle diacetyl effect, cereal grains and a pleasantly light hop bitterness in the finish.
F: Crisp, clean, med-light bodied mouthfeel with a medium fast finish.
O: Overall this Czech style pilsner is fresh, bready & malty and is traditional . It is comforting and is excellent in it's style.

Poured from a can.
Pours light gold and crystal clear. Nice streaming bubbles that gradually subside but keep trickling up from the bottom. Good head and lacing.
A little grain forward, with pale malt next and then some grassy/floral hop.
Grain and pale malt sweetness on the tip of the tongue, some grassy notes arrive in midstream, with herbal notes growing in strength to the finish. Maybe a hint of AAL-like skunk.
A nice medium-light body with good carbonation but not overwhelmingly so. Not as crisp as an ideal finish, its still good.
An okay Czech PIls. A little funky/skunky flavor keeps it down though.

Comes in a pretty can with the Czech Flag and Prague skyline in watercolor styled label. Beer itself pours a nice golden blonde color with only a slight head.
Fairly neutral but pleasant smell, hints of citrus but grains dominate.
Taste, first note that really hits is the carbonation both in terms of mouth feel and taste is quite strong on the front end as well as aftertaste, in the middle a rush of sweetness, sagegrass-esque? It's actually a little hard to place to be honest, certainly was unique in my experiences of pilsners. While I don't dislike it, not sure the whole package quite comes together, unique but not inspiring.
