On tap at the Foundry with theisti. Yellow pour with small white head. Nose of hops and grainy malts. Taste is grain, grass and malts. Good Pils.

Tap at the brewpub. The body was dark gold with a bright white head. The aroma was potatoes and grass. There was also a black pepper hint. The taste was bitter potato peels and some black pepper spice. A little bit of bell pepper. Nice and relatively hoppy.

Pint draft at the Foundry, which is basically the back bar of the McCoy’s Brewpub iun Kansas City, Missouri. Pour is clear golden, with a smallish white head. Aroma of malt and some grassy hops. Very soft and delicate nose, though very clean. Taste is grassy, malty, a little dirty. A lot of character for a Pils, and really well made. Palate has nice body, a good unfiltered pils feel to it. Clean finish. Nice one, McCoys is done some nice beers recently.

Unfiltered gold wearing a gentle white head. Soft bready malts dance all over the oily spicy and floral Saaz-like hops. Linear evolution from sweet to dry procures a feeling of accomplishment and good execution, but the finish comes surprisingly fast and leave us with not much to enjoy. A dead-on interpretation that doesn’t even leave the line enough to leave me with a marking souvenir.

Enjoyed on tap the the brewpub. This beer features a bery nice Saaz aroma with some malt sweetness to back it up. Served with no head, the beer is straw yellow with some orange-ish highlights. Very will balacnced between the Saaz bitterness and malt backbone. Medium bodied with livley carbonation. The entire time I was dinking it I was thinking to myself "So that’s what a fresh Cezch Pils tastes like".

Spicy, perfumy hop fragrance, green and lightly floral, with a small amount of white breadiness and malt sweetness. Light-medium golden color, very lightly hazy, with a slight head but fair lacing. Flavor is largely dominated by the Saaz, ppery, spicy and flowery, with a faint amount of countering maltiness towards the exceedingly dry finish. Lingering hop resins. Medium bitterness overall and rather slight effervescence, with a nicely smooth palate and light-medium body. Surprisingly tasty and refreshing; made for an excellent apéritif.

An absolutely beautiful pilsner from a brewery taht impresses me more and more every month. Effervescent with a gold and straw colour, the juicy Saaz hop aroma takes you by suprise. The taste is phenomenal as it brings memories of my first glass of Urquell. This is not as delicate as that famous pilsner but IMHO it is more pleasurable.
