Vycpaná vydra

Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

A thick, dense head crowns this pale 12° lager: its bitterness is pleasant and long-lasting, the body rich, and a crisp edge invites the next sip. Floor-malted Pilsner and Munich malt meet three hops (Sládek, Žatecký poloraný červeňák, Premiant), brewed to the template by which the world-famous Czech lager was once defined.
