North By Northwest Czech Pilsener

(1 liter mug filled from tap at brewery Oktoberfest celebration on October 4, 2008) After a liter of the Oktoberfest I went for the pilsener. A beautiful yellow brew. A lightly bitter and green aroma and a lightly sweet and bitter flavor. Good... not too complex, no lingering flavors on the finish, wonderfully hopped. Great body.

Pours medium yellow with a small whitish head. Smell is grassy, and lightly malty. Taste is lightly malty, pleasantly crisp and refreshing with a surprising sharp hop character. Medium body with crisp lightly bubbly carbonation. I really liked this beer and the hops made it shine, for me.

Draft at restaraunt. Dark gold color with little head. Malty nose. Heavy bodied mouthfeel for a pils. Very heavy malt flavor which I enjoy in a pils. I would drink more pils if they were like this. Nice beer.

Pour is pale yellow with a smallish white head...no real discernable aroma...mild grainy flavor at first, followed by a large attack of hops...turned quite bitter rather quickly...
