Brewed with two varieties of Bohemian Pilsner malt and Czech hops. Premiant means "serving to reward" and we too find it rewarding after a hard day's work.

Can into Pilsner Glass (Canned na)
Look: Crystal clear light golden yellow, pouring a frothy 1.5 finger head which quickly dissipated into a thin ring with wisps
Smell: Bright citrus zest and bready malt. Grassy hops. Medium strength nose
Taste: Clean bready malt with a good hit of peppery and grassy hops, light bitterness. Lemon zest throughout. Finish clea, drawing out the hops with bready malt till it slowly fades away
Feel: Light bodied, generous carbonation, crisp
Overall: Good pilsner, not my favorite but one I would definitely drink again

This is really beautiful. Bright straw-yellow and absolutely crystal clear. A gentle field of bubbles rise up evenly from my pint glass and sustain a thin film of white head.
Nose is great too. Up front, there's a lovely fresh and green German hop with cut grass and black pepper. Behind is just a whiff of dry biscuit/saltine cracker. Just pleasant.
Great balance in the flavor; just nailed the proportions--Nailed It! The malt is so clean and light, but still present and acting as the perfect support for the hops. Gently toasted white bread, and clean, clean, clean. Familiar pilsner hops that finish a touch too dry for my liking. Oh well, nothing another gulp won't take care of!
This is denser than expected, but really clean. Really good, but it feels a little too bubbly for my liking. The lingering dryness of the hops is likely skewing my experience of this beer.
A lovely beer, even better on tap.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Clear, Bright golden pour with a small foamy white head. Malty aroma, grainy, bready. Taste adds a layer of crisp hops to the malty base. Smooth, creamy.

Clear golden pour with a full white head and moderate lacing. Cracker, white bread left out over night, grains, pilsner malt, and gentle old world grassy hops make up the nose. Taste adds great yeast definition, light lemon zest, and floral notes. Clean and slightly pale, the bready body balances well, though on the fuller side, crisp finish. This was absolutely delicious. Hoping to find more AM soon

Pretty solid. Nice grainy sweetness, biscuit and a touch of honey with a floral bite on the backend. Medium body, nice creamy carbonation. Crisp and floral, a solid czech pilsner.

Bright and clear, golden yellow body; dense, lively carbonation; thick, frothy head, white and semi-creamy in texture; rings of foam step line the glass. Excellent cereal grain smell; fresh and earthy; subliminal esters; pear. Outstanding toasted malt flavor; light, earthy sweetness; light to moderate hop bitterness; mineral tones. Medium body; soft and pleasing on the palate; semi-dry mouthfeel.
This is a beautiful, full-flavored pilsner. Whatever malt base utilized is phenomenal. The beer itself oozes depth and complexity.
Pouring temperature: 52 °F; canning data: unknown

Premiant pours clear and with a light copper color - a nearly white head that quickly dissipates. Sparkling carbonation. The aroma is a mix of the malt sweetness and a bit of grass from the hops, I wish there was just a bit more "there" there.
The taste, however more than makes up for this; it’s very delicately balanced between the malt and the hops. Hints of a slightly caramel-like sweetness along with grass and just a bit of pine and citrus. The mouthfeel is light and finishes with a pleasant amount of crisp bitterness.
This beer has continued to improve since it was initially released and compares favorably to the best craft pilsners available anywhere.
Can purchased from the brewery 2/13/2021.

Much appreciation to @Harrison8 who sent this along repping Missouri during NBS BIF#11
Poured more aggressively than I'd initially intended into a little Alma Mader stange also courtesy of Harrison. Half the glass is big sudsy white head with a velvety top and a throne of golden amber that is almost perfectly crisp and clear. Good retention and it looks like it's starting to leave some gorgeous sticky lacing, though I suspect it will be a while before I know for sure.
With such a massive head, the nose offers a lot of sweet grains with some light grassy hops. No pretensions here, just straight forward clean pilsener.
Flavour is initially sweet straw with a little run of honey before a big dose of bitter earthy hops kick in. Still grassy, some light floral and almost perfumey notes around the corners, but the finish is long and deeply earthy bitter. I enjoy it, though I'm not sure how true to tradition it might be. But to hell with that, I'm thoroughly enjoying this glass. Crisp wet body is easy to find myself at the bottom of the glass and ready to refill from the crowler. Carbonation is medium-low but sharp and plays well with the hops.
Overall I find this to be exactly what I was looking for sitting on my deck in quarantine on a bright sunny spring afternoon. Thanks Harrison!!

Pours a foggy orange-straw with a finger and a half of white, frothy foam. Head retention is good. Aroma is clean and crisp herbal, zesty, spicy hops with light and flaky biscuity and crackery malts. Flavor profile is more crisp, clean and delicate notes, with herbal, floral, citrus and spicy hops layering over the top of flaky biscuits, wafery, crackery malts. Just a light tough of bread yeast curtails the flavor profile. Mouth feel is medium-thin with a light crispness courtesy of a moderate softness. Overall, light and airy, but not dainty. It's a refreshing lager with a lot going on between each sip.
Draft.
