Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Gentle sweetness in the manner of South Bohemian lagers meets a refined bitterness of the Pilsner type. Brewed to the personal recipe of Jiří Plevka Sr., long-time head brewer and president of the Chodovar brewery, this pale lager carries the name Prezident, and Chodovar calls it the true president of pale lagers. It is made in Chodová Planá, where, according to legend, the dog Albi found the spring the brewery still uses.

The palate begins with a gentle sweetness characteristic of South Bohemian lager tradition, which gives way to a refined, measured bitterness in the Pilsner vein. The malt foundation is smooth and lightly bready, supporting the beer's body without heaviness. The finish is crisp and refreshing, driven by noble-hop bitterness that resolves dry.
