Comments: I had 3 pints of that while in Sweden and were it not for Jamtlands Heaven, I’d have gotten more. Lean bodied and crisp, elegant pilsner that does not really feel Czech with the minimalist approach its malts take. Really hay-like, never toasty or biscuity (else it’d be perfect), but the hop attack is confident, strong, very floral and fresh. Delicate herbal intricacies. Very clean and clear, but a gorgeous example of a bitter and poundable pils.
