12oz bottle (enjoy by 08/24/19) poured into a becher glass at fridge temp 5.4% ABV 35 IBU. The beer pours bright golden straw yellow with nearly white head. The head recedes to a thin cap and leaves some lacing. The aroma is mild with bready malt and faint hops. The taste is semisweet pale malt with light notes of honey, bread, grass and floral hops. The bitterness is low to medium and the finish is dry. Mouthfeel is thin to medium bodied with lively carbonation. Overall, very good Czech pilsner. Refreshing with pleasant tastes and a clean lager finish.

Nothing horrible about this beer. Enjoyed it and especially love the artwork and whole music aspect behind it. Not my favorite by Great Lakes but still pretty good.

Poured into a tall clear pint glass. Clear golden color that glows, soapy thick head with good retention and lacing.
Aroma really "captures Central Europe." Notes of yeast, bread, biscuit, cracker, grain, and straw, with sweeter/light notes of lemon, vanilla, and mint.
Much like the aroma. Pilsner taste upfront with a slight bitter aftertaste. But overall very crisp and refreshing. Feels smooth.

Huge step above the domestic garbage that is Bud, Miller, Coors etc. But it still is just a boring pils.

Pours a clear golden yellow, great white head, great lacing. Aroma has some cracker, grass and some grain. Just enough hops to stay interested. Great mouthfeel, outstanding carbonation, very crushab le. I need to get a sixer as this was one of a pick six.

6/12oz cans for $9.99 IIRC at the brewery's gift shop. Enjoy by 8/22/18 on the bottom of the can.
Clear pale gold with impressive head, which eventually settles to a fuzz but never really goes away. Spicy and minerally hops and sweet vanilla maltiness make up the aroma. Complex, balanced flavor keeps going and going, but is tough to describe as most of the elements are subtle. Bread, iron, lemon, mint. The feel is just spot-on as well, balancing presence with lightness, sizzle with smoothness. Finishes minerally and dry. Wow.
If I lived where I could get this regularly, this would be my go-to.
