Tap: Clear golden beer with a small, quickly soasappering white head. Very clear malt profile, slightly toasted and hayish, with a grassy, floral hoppy profile. Carbonation is average, body is light. Taste is light sweet and medium bitter, with nice grassy bitter finish. A very czek-style pilsner.

Very uninteresting and ordinary lager. Not bad in any way, plenty of malt flavor, a full enough color and a high enough head. Just boring.
