On tap at Annapolis location--identified as "Czech Pilsner" rather than "Czech Lager". Let this one warm up a little. GB seems to serve things too cold. Once it does warm, the flavor really opens up. I loved it. Unusual, in that this beer almost seemed malt-focused, with the hops there only for their considerable bitterness, of both a piercing and blunt variety. I liked that feature, as it really served to highlight the star of the show, which was the malt. The malt was extraordinarily complex--the flavors were primarily that kind of fresh sweetness that I associate with some of my favorite pale lagers. There was a little corny taste in their for good measure. I found it superb.

From Safeway on sale for $6.99 a six pack. Yellow, white, head, light lacing. Light mouthfeel. Flavor of grain and light hops. Very ordinary.

A solid pilsner with a great balance of tart, sweet and body. Pours a light amber. Easy to drink and great with all beer food.

Czech Style Pilsner. Why do I even bother with these? Oh yeah thats right to increase my ratio. Typical in every way and indistinguishable from all the others. Very easy to drink though. No need to keep trying to duplicate what the old masters have perfected. Be original and make something new!

Bottle from Total Wine in Roseville, CA. As Czech Style Pilsner. Golden color with an ok white head. Smells grainy. Rather thin, foamy carbonation, grain, lightly spicy hop. It’s ok. Finish is fairly bitter.

On tap at Columbus Microbrew Fest. Simple lager with a very slight bit of hop notes. Overall - not worth buying.

Poured golden with a trim white head from the tap in Tempe. Overloaded with the bitterness of hops along with notes of pepper. Nothing I would recommend, as I couldn’t even finish my sample.
