From the brewer

Quests of unobtainable perfection exist. Brewmaster Dan's Holy Grail is the perfect pilsner. His ideal being an old school blur of German and Czech styles. Heirloom pilsner malted barley and a double decoction mash begin the maddeningly complex journey. Joined by Bavarian royalty Diamant, Mittelfrüh, Saphir, Select and Hallertau Blanc hops that gracefully weigh in a quaffable 35 IBU. The simplicity of a six week lager forges this pilsner treasure.

Who's been drinking this

It's not too bad. A slightly lighter, grassier character compared to the IPA I had immediately beforehand.
Bottle at Home
I had this after the IPA and I think that was not good for this… the flavors all seemed dull.
Bottle at Matt’s House
It's kinda rough and brackish. Makes it seem more German than Czech to me. They do talk about "an old school blur off German and Czech styles" on the bottle. I fear that adding Czech into German results in nothing good.
Bottle at Home
Perfect for a hot summer day.
