First and foremost this does not resemble a Pilsner.....more of a golden ale...and honestly for what they charge for a 4pk, you can get an awesome, true Pils from Dovetail close by, for less....was hoping for more

16oz can dated 10/12/20.
Poured into a pilsner glass, the clear, golden body with random rising bubbles briefly supports a 1" head of white mixed bubbles uet leaves the glass clean behind.

Bready and floral aroma matches the flavor with a slight finishing astringency.

Mouthfeel is clean, medium and almost soft.

Overall an easy drinking pils.

Pale gold, ample foam that quickly fades, very minimal lacing.

Fruity aroma is driven by a lot of yeast esters, fresh cut honeycrisp apple, light crackery malt.

Taste is similarly fruit forward, red and yellow apples, light pilsner malt sweetness up front, with a dry herbal hop finish. Clean with a balanced bittersweet mix of noble hops and malt. Light bodied with a supple feel and easygoing carbonation.

Overall this is a solid Czech Pils, a little more hop character would be nice, but it’s very drinkable. A growler disappeared in no time. Interesting selection of Czech/Polish/German hop varieties, yeast could be a touch less estery.

For the record, this beer is distinctive and brewed to style. It holds it own against Dovetail Pilsner (which I buy by the case), but it's not a competition. Please learn to review beer objectively, comparing it to others isn't a review.
