Lagunitas Pils if you want bold, American-inflected pilsner energy, Únětické Pivo 12° if you want classic Czech restraint.
Both sit at 35 IBUs, but Lagunitas swings 6.2% ABV—noticeably warming—while Únětické holds at a lighter 5%. They're spiritually the same beer, really: one's just louder.

Lagunitas Pils
Lagunitas Pils hits harder than a traditional Czech pilsner should. There's real grain sweetness up front—almost biscuity—but the finish gets snappy and slightly herbal, like they're pulling you back just when you think it's going full malt. The 6.2% sits warm on your palate; it's confident, not apologetic. You taste the brewhouse character here, not just the style.
Únětické Pivo 12°
Únětické tastes like someone distilled a pilsner down to its essential argument. Crisp, mineral-forward, with that subtle spice backbone you get from noble hops done right. It's delicate without being thin—there's real malt underneath, but it knows when to step back. At 5%, it's refreshing in the way that makes you reach for the next sip without thinking.
