Description: 

Czech Style Pilsner is a celebration of hops. It was first brewed in the Czech town of Pilsen in 1842 using special yeast smuggled out of Germany by a Czech monk. The region surrounding Pilsen is famous for its hops. Pilsner was the first clear golden brew: beers before it were dark and cloudy. We use imported Bavarian Hallertau and Tettnang aroma hops along with the finest pilsner malt. (Description provided by company)

Pours out a medium and clear gold, fairly thing head.

A bready and lightly herbal aroma. A medium low bitterness with lots of brighter herbal and flowery hop flavors with a fairly subtle malty backbone. A lingering hoppiness in the aftertaste (although the bitterness is low).

A nice example of the earthy and herbal European hop flavors
