This is a collaborative review with fellow BGN member Ryan.
He sent me a bottle of this special bottling of Fizzy Yellow Beer (labelled Chuckvar) since I’ve been to the Czech Republic and can compare this to the beers I had there. It’s sort of a “west coast” Czech Pilsner — a bit overly hoppy — but it would sit very nicely with the true Czech lagers I had in country.
I’m sorry if I seem a bit overly critical in this review. It’s a great beer, but I felt the need to really dig down and give a specific impression of how it compares to my year-old memories of Pilsner Urquell in country.
From the brewery website:
Here’s a poke at domestic mass produced, mundane, lifeless, boring, bland, fizzy yellow, insipid swill. Brewmaster, Chuck Silva believes that “Fizzy Yellow Beer” can and should be full of life and flavor. Green Flash’s “Fizzy Yellow Beer” is just that, full of life and flavor from premium European Pilsner Malt and Noble Hops. A traditional Pilsner lager yeast ferments the beer and imparts a specific, clean flavor during the one month lagering period. Of course our “Fizzy Yellow Beer” has a bit more hop than even the best European examples which makes it truly a Green Flash Original.
