Alexander Keith's Bohemian Lager

Tap to rate

A golden pale lager, almost clear, with a white head that fades quickly. Competition judges noted a malty nose with a touch of banana, followed by rich malted-barley flavour that avoids heavy sweetness. The hops add a slightly spicy, citrusy accent, and a mineral quality gives the beer structure. It finishes short and dry with very little bitterness.
