This is not what I was expecting from a classic Czech pilsner. That being said, the bitterness accumulates over time and builds on the finish as you drink more of it. The hops just don't have that crisp refreshingness that I was hoping for. Surprising given that this seems like a fresh beer and the fact that it's canned should reduce the light-struck effect. Lots of skunkiness on the palate, not so pleasant. Very crackery with a generic, flat Noble hop bitterness that lingers on the palate. Taste: It's surprisingly malty on the taste. Slight bready / perfumy aroma also along with some yeastiness. Predominant flavors of lemon and floral notes, also mildly peppery. Smell: Has a bit of a skunkiness to it, which could actually work so let's not knock it yet. Would be nice if there was better head retention for this style. Lots of little bubbles rising up in the glass. A little bit of fine floaties after pouring the bottom of the can. 16.9oz can purchased from the fridge as a single for $2.49.
