Bohemia Dominicana

Cervecería Nacional Dominicana
Dominican Republic·Czech Pilsner
Tap to rate

The Dominican Republic's premium lager — slightly fuller and more hop-forward than Presidente with a firmer bitter finish. Bohemia is CND's quality tier: the beer ordered when Dominicans want something a step above. Named after the Czech brewing tradition that inspired its character.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with crisp, noble hop character—restrained floral and herbal notes typical of Czech Saaz-style varieties. Beneath lies a clean, light malt base with subtle grain and a whisper of mineral minerality. No yeast esters or adjuncts intrude; the profile remains dry and focused.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and refreshing, with soft malt sweetness that quickly yields to a firm, dry bitterness. The mid-palate balances crisp hop bite against a light, slightly bready malt foundation, with mineral notes adding texture and definition. Finish dries progressively without harshness.

Serve at 4–7°C

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass

The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.

Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.

What is a Czech Pilsner?

Pilsners are crisp golden lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 25–45. Defined by spicy, floral Saaz hops over a light malt backbone — bright carbonation and a dry bitter finish.
