Bright golden w/ medium head. Bready malts come through a bit much, and a slight hint of butterscotch throws it off. Nice saaz bit in the finish.

sampler @ brewery - straw gold with thin white head; crisp and grainy aromas; nice level of hops added; smooth and drinkable, but a little on the bland side; a decent pilsner overall

I can’t get enough of this one. HUB does a great job and the use of authentic Saaz make this a fine beer to taste. Truly a fine pilsner as recognized by the Silver Medal winner at world beer cup 2008

Draft at the brewery. Clear yellow with a white head. Fruity hop nose of melon and lemon citrus. Wet on the palate, medium bodied, some light coarseness in the back, and some plastic grain twang in there as well. Okay but nothing like true Czech pils.

This beer is the closest I’ve found to an American brewery brewing a true czech style pilsner. They use true saaz hops, pilsner malts and yeast. The nose has a strong saaz aroma similar to Bernard but with a cleaner smell. The lacing is almost more distinct than Budvar and the taste is crisp and flavorful with a strong hop character though not overpowering the malts so a balance still exists. Truly a fine pilsner as recongnized by the world beer cup 2008
