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.

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.

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.

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

Bottle. Light, golden color with a soapy white head. Crisp aroma - hops, floral notes, hay, cheese... not hugely complex. Similar flavor profile; light hops, citrus, wet hay. No apparent alcohol. Bubbly palate, a bit too thin. Drinkable, but not impressive.

22 oz bottle from Table and Vine in Northampton MA consumed from a Christoffel glass just a bit above fridge temperature. Pale bubbly gold with a fairly stable white small-bubble head and thick fine-patterned lacing, looks nice....grainy Saaz-dominated nose comes off a bit skunky and old at first (this bottle was no more than a month old when I had it) though some nice malt and perhaps a hint of honey shows up with some warmth and the acrid wafts dissipate eventually....body has a touch of bite but on the whole is way too doughy/soft to really work and it just gets sweeter and milder as it works towards the dull, slightly dry finish....carbonation is biting but a tad too low....check this one a "no" if you’re keeping score on the 100 Barrel series.
