From the brewer

A little twist on words and style, this Czech Pils inspired IPA brandishes a Pilsner malt forward nose and a spice bomb of Czech Saaz hops. An assertive hop bite, with soft bready malt notes and some warming alcohol, combine on the tongue with a lingering spicy-woody Saaz hop finish. Na zdravĂ­!

Who's been drinking this

This beer is pretty much exactly what the name implies - somewhere halfway between a pils and an IPA, as odd as it sounds. The IPA part is of a light, fragrant citrus type. A strong, unsweet cereal backbone represents pils, and finishing bitterness is right in the middle of grassy and pithy. Somehow, it works. I couldn't tell whether I actually liked it or if the weirdness was just too intriguing, but I came down on "liked."
