3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hazy and golden. Mostly saaz and light diacetyl in the nose. Warming diacetyl on the palate. There’s a lot of saaz, medium bitterness for style, and fairly full-bodied malts. My misgivings are the diacetyl (acceptable in the style, but not to this high an amount IMO), and the lack of voluptuousness in the malts (they get a bit doughy).

On tap in Irvine, this golden pour had a mild sweetness and was easy to drink.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
A: The pour is a pale straw color with a fizzy white head that dissipates quickly.
S: Smells like a (bad) malt liquor. Corn syrup, apple juice, sugar, urine, and some grassy hops.
T: More of the same in terms of the flavor. Sweet corn, apple juice, and some miscellaneous grain notes. Very minimal bitterness, but it’s more of an astringency.
M: The body is light and watery and the carbonation is a bit low for a lager.
D: Not really anything Czech about this. That is, unless corn syrup, apple juice, and grass are the characteristics of a Czech Pils.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This cleverly named Pils pours a clear dark golden color with a medium thin and fizzy white head that burns away steadily. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Spicy Saaz hops aroma. Light-bodied and moderately hoppy with some malt backbone, as well as some spices. The finish is hoppy with a lingering hops aftertaste. Average overall.
