Quart bottle: Pours a clear light golden color with a medium white head, nose has light grains with some lemon, medium bodied with a crisp ending, playful carbonation and a watery, thirst-quenching texture.

Cold, quart sized, swing-top bottle: Pours a medium golden color with a fluffy, ivory head that leaves some lacing in the glass. Aroma is of light grains, light spice, and notes of lemon. Taste is of light grains well blended with floral hops. Medium bodied and crisp, with good carbonation. Ending contains spice and lemon notes.

Draft on 07/22/11. Arrived at the table a clear pale gold with a thick off-white head. A pleasant aroma of grassiness, crisp wheatiness, citrus rinds, and some lemon. Went down relatively thin, crisp, and refreshing. Lightly sweet upfront in the taste with some cereal graininess. Wheatiness followed with some drying grapefruity and lemony flavors toward the end. Refreshing. Very nice for the style.

On tap at the brewpub: Pours a clear pale golden with a thin ring of white bubbles. Has a fairly fresh Saaz hoppy nose with some light grainy pale malty notes. Starts with average fullness and appropriate sweetness with some grain husks and an authentic Czech hop flavor and bitter balance before a crisp, clean finish. A pretty good example of the style.

Draft. Medium off-white head, clear straw body. Aroma is medium sweet, herbal/grass, some honey. Taste is medium sweet, grass/herbal, grapefruit, some honey, bread. Light-medium body, some resin, acidity.

Golden color with a medium sized, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of pils malt, floral hops, citrus fruits, and toast. Taste of light honey, toast, citrus, grass, and a noble hoppy bitter finish. Nice pils.
