Initial impression very good: roasty, thin mouthfeel, pleasant. Over time there's an acrid aspect to the bitterness that builds up and makes this less enjoyable.

TASTES CHANGE, I GUESS

Whatever I didn't like about this before I had the opposite reaction to it this time. It's bold and grassy, flavorful, bitter finish.

Bubblegum and grapefruit IPA. Fragrant and light, but after some of the remarkable IPAs of the past few days this one is pretty unmemorable.

So this loses some points just for being misadvertised. This does not taste at all like a Czech pilsner - it's got a lot of bright, dry hopped northwest hop flavors and the cereal is subdued. Moderate to strong bitterness. Decent for what it is, but I wanted something else.

No real malt body here, this is a hop-centric amber all the way. I imagined a sheen of hop oil the entire way through this glass, and had a little headache by the end of it.
