Pour is a slightly clouded, golden body with excellent head. Retention and lace are great. A little bit of a skunky nose if I am honest, it doesn't seems especially clean. Not awful, but not quite what I had expected. It is a harbinger of things to...
Light haze on the lemon colored body. Chunky white head, great lace. Sticky. Nose offers light hops, some bread notes. There’s a TON of flavor packed into this beer. I don’t know if you want to call this a Czech Pilsner or not, but there are a...
Last of a six pack. Pour is a slightly hazed affair that if I am honest, leaves me a little cold. I much prefer a crystal clear pils body. Head and retention are good, with a striking white hue the order of the day. Nose is an interesting combo of...
Good, crisp version of the style. Quite bitter, Saaz-like noble finish. Very strange, green, hay-like nose - quite odd! Actually on closer aroma inspection it seems more like free, hop, pellets. Pale, lemony cloudiness as the hue; light lace....
Review based on bottle #3 and #4 of the four pack. This is a bit of conundrum for me. I'm philosophically opposed to the use of such adjuncts in addition to the words 'Czech' and 'Pilsner' on the label, since for me, their addition atomically makes...
Very light, straw colored pour. Actually the beer is incredibly pale, almost to macro, low quality standards. Not necessarily an issue, but it really isn't the best looking pilsner that I've seen by quite some distance. The hue is certainly not the...
12 oz single courtesy of Kevin. For a beer that has a Czech Pils moniker, it has a heck of a lot of adjunct lager character! Head retention is pretty weak and the beer delivers a nose that is chocked full of vegetal sweetness. The aroma...
#3 in the Georgia Theater series (although apparently this and #4 were seemingly essentially, simultaneously released), and as a pair they complete an extraordinarily large number of beers released by Terrapin in the last twelve months. 22 oz...
12 oz single - many thanks go out to Micah for the chance to crack this one. Only from the brewery? Not sure, but that's what I remember hearing. Typical Pils appearance with a light golden body and a wispy head. the head lacks much presence for...
12oz single from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Pour is a golden color with a frothy, light head that although not especially well-retained it does produce some significant lace. Nose and tastes create a feel of a Pils without the true saaz-like kick...
An impressive number of (BA) reviews for a beer that's only been out for a couple of months. I suppose that reflects both the distribution of Sam Adams, and the relative power of BBCs advertising reach - they really are a macro, micro! I actually...
The usual GB experience with this beer. Clean lines define the look of the brew, true to style with nice clarity on the pour and some very good, persistent carbonation. The beer looks good with the golden body and most importantly a well retained...
Well, what a strange brew. Let's start with the price. This was $9.99 for the 12 oz bottle from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. I spoke with Kraig at length about this and he assured me that this was correct. Seems bizarre. The pour is a bit odd as...
"Kids are different today I hear every mother say....", not sure if this was inspired by the Rolling Stones but it certainly feels that way. $1.50 as a single from Green's on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. A new entrant to the ATL market just in time...
Purchased at Arbor Place Beverage, Douglasville, GA, USA. Again, not easy to distinguish a number of these Bernard brews from one another, but this one IS 4.70% ABV, and is a Czech Pils so I feel fairly confident this is the correct place to put...
$2.09 from Arbor Place Beverage, Douglasville, GA, USA. Golden body with decent carbonation into the Sweetwater Pils glass. Small head and a little lace. Body has very good color, and looks rich. A little malt in the nose but it is not at all...
500 mL bottle, $2.99 from Arbor Place Beverage, Douglasville, GA, USA. Standard golden clarity on the pour into the Sweetwater Pils glass, with a steady but not large carbonation. In fact carbonation falls away rapidly to leave the beer feels very...
11.2oz bottle, Buffalo Wild Wings, Douglasville, GA, USA. Now under the simple moniker "Czechvar"; presumably AB won the never ending court battle to use the word Budweiser - frankly I had lost touch. Light yellow pour with a typical macro lager...
Yet another 12 oz single from a recent Trader Joe's booty. In summary, a drinkable lager but a poor "Czech Pils". Pour is golden and looks good in the Sweetwater Pils glass. Nice, continuous carbonation with a wispy head and a little lace. Sweet,...
Six Pack from Tobacco & Rum Package in Vinings, Atlanta, GA, USA. 12oz stubbie, love the simplicity and color of the label. Looks classy. Superb example of the style. Looks great with a beautiful color, great carbonation a fantastic head with...
$1.99 Cheers, Carrollton, GA, USA. 500 mL bottle. Looks good. Golden with some nice sticky lacing and some small but persistent head. Some pretty good carbonation in the Sweetwater 420 "logoed", Pilsner glass. Dry, hop aroma that is clean. Saaz? in...
Awful. A nasty macro in micro packaging. Reminded me of a low quality macro lager, with all the charm and sophistication that goes with them. Nasty color, nasty aroma and a weak, but somehow unpleasant taste. Bright gold, incredibly clear (frankly...
$3.25 on draught, Mellow Mushroom, Douglasville, GA, USA. Very strange this one, I would not have guessed this was supposed to be a Pilsner had I not known. Looks like a standard macro lager, but had a very odd taste. I thought it was spicy, not a...
Like merlin48, my label looked slightly different to the one pictured, but I'm pretty sure I am reviewing the correct beer. I feel this is a sound example of a pilsner. A Nice golden color with the correct amount of carbonation and a good sharp...
Notes added 07/20/21 Funny to read my original notes (below) that seem a little naive and simple. But that was over 17 years ago! A definitive beer, of course. Beautiful appearance, the bubbles continue to do the inverse of cascading, upwardly...
