Bernard Bohemian Ale

◎ Appearance

Brilliant golden yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. Active carbonation is evident from consistent bubbling; the brewery's practice of bottle fermentation contributes to the beer's characteristic liveliness and visual effervescence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright, ripe stone fruit and citrus notes characteristic of the Belgian yeast strain. Behind the fruit lies a gentle spice from coriander, accompanied by clean, lightly sweet malted grain without any harsh phenolics or oxidation.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with fruity sweetness and malty softness, quickly evolving to reveal the distinctive coriander spice in the mid-palate. The malt base is clean and well-defined, supporting the spice without becoming harsh; bitterness remains restrained at 26 IBU, allowing fruit and spice to dominate.

◑ Finish

The finish unfolds with a gentle warming from the 8.2% ABV, drying gradually as spice and fruit fade into a clean, dry aftertaste. Length is moderate, leaving a pleasant memory of coriander and malt without lingering sweetness.
