Tap at CK - golden pour with a soapy, lasting head - a bit of a haze to it, but I won’t hold that against it - nose of floral and grassy hops, light mineral, a slight honeyed malty quality - full in the mouth - sturdy but soft carbonation - the front end is dry, crisp and fairly bitter - a lot of grassy hop character - the middle brings a mild sweetness to balance, as the tail end and finish bring another strong punch of peppery, floral hoppiness - crisp, lingering finish - fairly bitter for a pils, and not as elegant as it could be, but nicely balanced and very tasty none-the-less - nice to have such a tasty lager made so close to home.

On tap at Copper Kettle poured a clear gold with a small lingering white head. Aromas of straw, citrus and light earthiness. Palate was medium bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of straw, earthiness and a hint of citrus with a crisp dry finish.

Tap @ brewery. Hazy, a touch orangish yellow appearance with a white head. Bready pale malty, very light hoppy, herbal aroma. Easy drinking flavor but a little boring- sweet pale malty, lightly fruity, mild grassy/floral hoppy flavor. The hops don’t seem very assertive for a Bohemian Pilsner.

Clear light gold with a thin frothy head that leaves much lace. Grainy aroma of cereal and wheat, with a very light grassy hop note. Flavor is nice and clean, though not too light. There’s this earthy pale grain tone with a background of yeasty biscuit, with a gentle noble hop presence throughout. Clean, flavorful and balanced. As good as Mama’s from Oskar Blues!
