Thanks to JLindros for hooking me up with a can.

A - Poured into my Duvel tulip a nice crystal clear light gold hue with a thin quarter inch white head that fades rather quickly to leave a a light halo and lighter wisps.

S - Aromas of light floral and grassy hops, little bit of sweet pilsner malts and flashes of corn.

T - Taste is tons of cereal grains and lots of sweet malty bread dough. Flashes of corn and more sweet corn notes as it warms. Little floral and herbal but this is surprisingly sweet.

M - Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated, crisp, clean, medium bodied.

O - Overall this was a relatively let down and didn't seem to drink nearly as nice as a growler fill. Much sweeter than I'm used to for a Czech pilsner and the retention was quite lackluster.

Draft at the brewery
Good frothy smaller head, medium retention, light lacing, crystal clear lighter gold color

Nose grainy sweet malts, light pilsner malt with touch of expected corn like, raw grist, light floral herbal hops

Taste more raw cereal grain, grainy sweet gristy dough, more pilsner malt but not super dominant, touch of background corn, hops are not dominant in the balance as a good Czech should be, herbal floral saazer-like with medium higher bitterness, turning a Lyme grassy spicy late, dry bitter finish

Mouth is medium bod, medium to slightly higher carb, soft lager

Petal pretty solid Czech pils, well in style and no off characters
