Bottle fresh from the brewery. Pours a beautiful deep gold with a sticky lasting white head and sick lace- carbonation is perfect. Aroma is all fresh saaz hops- spicy with a bit of earth and somewhat floral with hints of weed- good pilsner doughy malts as well. Flavor is crisp and clean with lots of doughy malts, and a very clean sharp saaz hop presence- - clean crisp and nicely bitter with a very refreshing finish. Very surprising. One of the best bohemian pilsners you can find in a bottle. Obviously try to get this one fresh. Also crazy that they used Pale and vienna instead of pilsner malts- tastes and feels 100% traditional! I should have bought a case of this stuff.

Shared by Dickinsonbeer. Light golden in color with a medium to large white head. Aroma is alot of fresh saaz hops, somewhat earthy, lightly spicy as well as some fresh pils. Taste is light to medium bodied with alot of pale malts, lightly sweet but dry at the same time. Alot of saaz hops in the taste as well. Crisp, clean and refreshing. Finishes light to moderately bitter. Very nice pilsner.

Has a nice gold pour, with a medium head. Got it off tap from the brewery, and was one of my favorites there. Has a nice bitterness and mild spice taste to it.

Bottle (actually a six pack consumed over the past week and change). Pours copper gold with a generous white head. Smells of perfume, caramel, dry malt, floral hints, some pepper. Tastes of caramel, touches of bitterness and spice and a nice dry finish. Very drinkable.

Light hop aroma. Odd in that it’s very coating. Hops are very present in the finish. Pretty drinkable, but the heaviness is almost too much.
