Poured on tap at Churchkey into a pokal style glass.

Super carbonation on appearance. Each stream of bubbles is the same length and has the exact separation between them also. They rise fast through a bronze gold crystal clear body. A super tight pinhead top and bone white. Every bubble presented in this beer is the exact same pin head size. Laces big. Fantastic looking beer.

Nose hits with a perfect mix of grass hop and booming malts. Very dense smelling malts but with that classic bright crispness still coming. Fantastic.

This palate hits with such an oven sense of white crisp baked dense bread it isn't even funny. Even the warm hops give it heat. It literarly tastes like bread out of the oven. Finishes with incredible warmth and control. Great mix of lime and lemon bright hop finish, with a grass like pull down the throat, even oily. Depth on the abv gives this a nice oomph on top of it.

Overall, this might be my favorite czech pilsner I've ever had. I like the booming depth on this also. Without question the most memorable I've had to date.

A: The beer is clear light yellow in color and poured with a two finger high white head that slowly died down into a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface. Just a hint of carbonation is visible in the form of rising bubbles.
S: There are aromas of grainy malts and wheat in the nose.
T: The overall taste is malty, but in no way overpowering as there is some balance from the underlying malts.
M: It feels light-bodied and very crisp on the palate and has a moderate to high amount of carbonation. It definitely feels filling.
D: The beer has a decent amount of drinkability, although it's quite filling so I wouldn't have more than one of these at a time.
