Notes

It's Czech pilsner. Think Pilsner Urquell or Stella Artois.

Light in color and fizzy, this pilsner is quite sessionable and more about the hops than the malt, but not in an unbalanced way. Agnus hops give a lemon scent and a very low proportion of herbal scent, late and early variety Saaz hops bring mild, earthy, herbal, and spicy flavors.
