Czech Pils
Von Ebert Brewing

 

 

Poured from 16oz can into a dimpled mug. The canned-on date is kind of marred but it appears to be June 2022, so pretty fresh.

Appearance: light golden hue with just a tiny touch of shimmery haze and a thin layer of eggshell foam. Not too bad.

Smell: slightly sweet, slightly grainy malt aroma with a big big dose of noble hops; they are green and bright and almost minty in nature. I dig it big time.

Taste: much like the aroma, there's an herbal/minty quality to the hops, along with a light, slightly sweet base malt character. It is working for me.

Mouthfeel: medium-light body with a big carbonation and a pretty decent creaminess.

Overall: this beer is massively drinkable. I'm really enjoying it.

Look: Pale yellow and nearly clear with a vigorous white head that builds up and holds for a minute and noisily recedes, leaving good lacing behind
Aroma: Cut grass, lemons, spicy hop notes, pilsner malt, and floral hop notes
Taste: The nose threw me off some as I expected a heavy dose of spicy hops given the style and the tastes rights the ship bringing plenty of spicy hop notes along with some freshly cut grass. Pilsner malt and light lemony notes appear throughout and closes like it started, with pure Saaz goodness
Mouthfeel: Light but full, medium-high carbonation, and clean and crisp throughout, including on the finish along with a lightly dry note
Overall: I dig it. I love all Pilsners but seem to see and drink far more German ones than Bohemian/Czech so this was a nice, tasty treat. It’s a good representation of the style and well-made and fairly easy to find – all of which contribute to my liking of it. Worth the purchase and recommended, especially for Bohemian Pils fans

From a 16oz. can purchased at the liquor store.

Clean and dry. Very effervescent. Not a "hoppy pilsener" but the hops are prominent. The pils yeast and grain are present, but the hops linger. It's definitely a Czech pils, but it's different enough to be worth checking out.

 

Solid pilsner. Mildly hazy golden orange body, two finger white head, crisp mildly crackery malt, touch of floral, a touch of pumpernickel bread. Lighter medium body, appropriate carbonation. Nothing special when it comes to the Czech pilsner style, still a solid pounder appropriate for the golf course.
