Appearance- sparkling clear little to no head, no lacing

Aroma- Hay, Honey, grass, popcorn, sweet butter

taste- more of a hop forward pils. full resin hop hit at the front that drops off sharply and the carbonation cleans up the palette. It doesn't linger long. Different from corny pils

Mouthfeel- high fizz a little more bitterness than I have tasted in the style. I like the alcohol in this its a little higher than I am used to in this style.

Overall- i think this pils will please a lot of modern beer drinkers its hop forward is a little more boozy than most, its pretty in the glass. Traditionalists beware. I think I could have put a lot of this away in my college days when my drinking priorities were different. Bravo

A- Nice labeling, poured into pint glass where it had a light head to accompany the light amber/golden color
S- I'm still trying to refine my sense of smell when it comes to beers. I thought I was smelling some sort of grain, like wheat, barley?
T- Had a nice mix of sour/bitter taste, I tasted something similar to grapes.
M- It had a lingering bite, wasn't unpleasant.
O- I'm glad I tried this beer, I'm still exploring different pilsners, so this was on my list. I'd buy it again, but I'm still searching for the pilsner that will be my "goto".

Right now I am going through a phase of trying authentic czech style pilsners, and this pilsner stays very true to its style. It has a much deeper golden color, then a Bohemian or Vienna style lager. The spice notes are quiet to come through but once you taste them, your happy they have used some high quality Saaz hops.
