Commercial Description:
On one of our yearly Harpoon trips abroad to experience beer culture, we traveled to birthplace of this famous style and were very impressed by the history, freshness, and flavor of this beer. We brewed our Bohemian Pilsner in order to taste those wonderful flavors once again. Our Pilsner is made from three different European malts including a large portion of Pilsner malt which provided the slightly sweet and malty backbone of the beer. In order to achieve the crisp bitterness and aromatic nose, we brewed with Tetnanger and Czech Saaz hops. The beer was dry hopped with the Saaz as well. The authentic Bohemian Pilsner yeast added depth and after a prolonged lagering period helped produce much of the character of this beer. Our Bohemian Pilsner has a smooth, slightly malty flavor that is balanced with a crisp bitterness and clean hop aroma. It brings back great memories of our trip every time I taste it. I hope you enjoy it as well. 42 IBUs.

Brewed as a limited edition, I have only been able to find this beer once, but I would love to find it again and again.

Pours a perfectly clear light gold with lively carbonation and a rocky lasting white head- some lace. Aroma is of fresh bready malts, and nice fresh zesty herbal hops- czech saaz dominate- also a wierd light sugary sweetness in the nose. Flavor is bready malts, floral and herbal hops- reminds me a bit of troegs sunshine. Has a realy nice clean crisp bitterness in the end. Very easy to drink and refreshing. Great summer pilsner. Finally, a good tasting, well made Harpoon 100 bbl series!

Pours a bright gold into a shaker. Frothy, bright white micro head cones above the rim. Clean hop and mild malt aromas (honest to god I wrote that before looking at the description).. Crisp with upfront sweet caramel and a metallic bitter lasting finish.

Bomber: Pours a clear yellow with a large frothy white head, light fruits, grass, hay and flowers in the aroma, starts and ends lightly bitter, medium bodied with a fizzy mouthfeel, bitter dry ending with a grainy character. A very nice example of the style.

I was very happy that Harpoon improved upon their standard pilsener. A great attempt by an American brewer.

Cold 22oz bottle: Pours a clear yellow with a decent ivory head which dissipates slowly. Aroma is of yeast and grass with a hint of citrus. Taste is sweet and malty with bitter notes. Smooth and refreshing.

Pilsener is not exactly the most exciting beer, but this was well done. Pours gold with a thin head. Light aroma with a touch of hops. Good, clean flavor that is very easy to drink. Well done.

After having enjoyed the Bohemian Pilsner at its release at the Boston brewery, we elected to pull back a bit, pour ourselves a tall one, and review it from the comfort of the couch. Thinking back to the release night, we remember Dan saying that he compares this offering to Pilsner Urquell, also a Czech pilsner. From the 22 oz. bottle, it pours a light yellow color that pours into a cloudy body that clarifies to a sparkling clear appearance. A large, frothy white head crowns the beer, with good retention and good lacing as we continued to enjoy. Aroma is gentle, with just a subtle hint of yeast in the form of a soapy scent. Initial taste is a light, light sweet that quickly turns to a moderate bitter finish that goes down smooth. Average to long duration on the palate. Light on the mouthfeel, we’re left slightly dry with lively carbonation. Despite its large bottle, the low ABV and crisp finish maked this an excellent session beer that we found to be very drinkable.
