Bernard Dvanáctka

Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Full body, balanced bitterness and a delicate hop scent sit under a thick, rich head of foam. Brewing water comes from the brewery's own wells, and Czech hop varieties supply bitterness and aroma. The beer matures slowly in lager tanks, where it gains its crisp bite and a rounder taste, and it is not pasteurised.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and smooth, with a pronounced malty foundation grounding the flavor. Mid-palate develops a balanced bitterness from Czech hop varieties—clean and assertive without harshness. The finish remains crisp and dry, with the noble-hop character lingering softly and a slight breadiness supporting the overall structure.
