Pours a crystal clear golden straw color with a foamy white head that lingers a bit and leaves some lacing on the glass.
The nose is led by grassy hop notes, a bit of
lemon, and bready malt notes, which is where the taste lands as well.
The mouthfeel is clean and crisp. This is really well done and a beer I’d gladly revisit.

Poured from a 12 oz. can into an OMB Pilsener Glass
The beer pours a clear(ish) golden straw color with about three fingers worth of foamy white head that slowly recedes leaving behind a small amount of spotty lacing
The aroma is slightly grainy with citrusy and grassy hop notes
The flavor is bready and grainy with lemony and herbal hops. finishes somewhat dry. Medium/light bodied and moderately carbonated.
Overall, this is a nice beer that is well balanced and quite easy to drink.

Crystal clear wedding band gold under a tall and fluffy puffy white head.
A moderate, nondescript bitterness skirts herbal and grassy over a softly crisp yet round body accented by hints of corn nut.
A pretty deftly executed classic Czech pilsener with high drinkability and qualities not explicitly defining themselves, enjoyed in such a cool bar--Elevator in Columbus. Ya'll kept this vibe tight-lipped!

A - Pours a hazy medium gold color with thin lacing and very light carbonation.
S - This one has a really "unique" aroma consisting of rotten eggs (like a Weiss beer), along with citrus, some lemon, and some earthy grassiness.
T - Earthy, grassy, citrus, lemon, lemon citrus rind, and some peppery spice. Nice lingering lemon citrus on the backside.
M - Big body for a Pils with soft carbonation.
O - Too thick for the style, IMO.
