Bohemia

Tap to rate

Toasty, biscuit-like, bready malt aromas come with spicy citrus and grassy notes. Bohemia is brewed in the English countryside with the soul of a Czech pilsner: colder and longer with lager yeast, then cold-conditioned for four weeks. The strength is 4.7%, and pubs were still serving it on draught in June 2026.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent toasty and biscuit-like malt character, followed by subtle spicy citrus and herbal grassy notes.

The malt-forward expression is clean and inviting without any fermentation roughness.

◐ Taste

Entry is malty and bready with a satisfying depth that belies the moderate 4.7% strength. Mid-palate shows smooth grainy sweetness tempered by gentle citrus lift and a dry, grassy backbone. The bitterness remains restrained at 22 IBU, allowing the Malz character to dominate while maintaining excellent crispness and definition on the palate.

About Pale Lager

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Pale Lager?

Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.

Finding a similar Pale Lager

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same toasty, bready, malty character as Bohemia will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
