Czech Mate is a fresh spin on the classic Pilsner beer. Made with very soft water which allows the hop profile to be intensified without excessive bitterness. Our Czech Mate has a solid all-malt background which balances out the hops. The initial impression will seem malt accentuated, but contemplate the finish and the hop profile will reveal itself.

[1] Review by cicil from saskatoon, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (7/21/2008 7:59:05 PM)
"Pale yellow color with nice lemony flavoring both in smell and in taste. Brought this one home cold right from the brewery. Complex flavoring with just a hint of bitterness on the back of the tongue. Not a great beer but nice flavor for a light tasting beer."

[2] Review by beercronic from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada who has tried this beer once. (5/22/2007 12:50:51 AM)
"Pale, weak lemony-gold brew with little bubbs. Poured out a huge bright white rocky cap that simmered to a skim but still leaves good thick lacing. I can't quite place the aroma, but there is a crap load of malts and grains and a great fresh nose to it. Taste is great - lots of very soft malts and notable hops ( I assume they are Saaz) and grainy....not much more to say there...just damn yummy. Medium bodied. Very smooth, great carbonation, soft feel, nice grainy / malt finish with underlying bitterness.....the grain and malt really carry the aftertaste. Really enjoyable! I will get more for mass consumption."

[3] Review by mmmmBeer from Edmonton, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (5/19/2007 1:12:41 PM)
"Body appears to be a clear yellowy gold with a quarter inch rocky white cap the retention seems descent for a pilsner. Tons of bubbles are floating up to the top of the glass, this beer almost looks fake with the yellowy color it has. The aroma is nice and hoppy, with some creamy floral berries thrown in, malty and just the ever slightest hint of skunk and something that is reminding me of banana bread, ok aroma nothing mind blowing but very acceptable. The flavor has a mild malty goodness that has a nice peppery hop kick, the hops a very noticeable but nothing over the top, this still taste like a pilsner not an IPA. This does have a slight bitter finish but over all it has a candy like sweetness and is very smooth. Mouth feel is very full and thick foe a pilsner with nice amounts of carbonation giving it a nice crisp feel. Nicely balance beer tasty and refreshing nothing bad to say about it, I liked it. Review done while watching Night at the museum. "

[4] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer once. (5/3/2007 7:44:13 AM)
"Bottle: 3 weeks old
Pour puts a light gold lager in the flute with a rocky 2 finger cap which displays good retention and lacing.
Aroma misses the floral Czech hopping and delivers the thick malty and ligh grass aromas of a German Pilsner.
Wonderful rush of biscuity malts in the front are joined by a herbal-citrus rind bittering..this develops more intensly mid palate and is joined by some floral and botanical notes...the building hop presense produces a drying finish where the biscuit malts are predominated by the hop bittering..has bready after taste with a light metallic tone.
A decent miro pilsner"
