One of the better beers I’ve had from Church. Nice Saaz profile coming through, good earthy spice. Fits the bohemian pilsner style well.

UPDATED: AUG 6, 2011 Sampled on draft at D’s in Monroeville this beer poured a dark golden color with a medium sized white head that faded and left no lacing. The aroma was tart, crisp, floral, grassy and a touch perfumey. The flavor was dry and bitter with lemongrass and perfume. The finish was long, dry and hoppy. Light body. Eh.

Tap @ Brewpub. Nose is essentially not there - very light peppery hop, extremely light malt character. Flavor is light honey, a tiny bit of toasted malt & soda water with undefined hop character - they are there, but don’t really express themselves at all.

No visible co2 in this pale beer. Clean aroma with barely any smell. On the palate it is quite flat also. Quite strong pils bitter bite but it mellows as the session continues. Goes down fairly easy. Finish is OK with a mild medium noble hop linger that seems a little like chewing on an old rubber inner tube. On tap at the Works.
