Dagvar

Canada·Czech Pale Lager
Tap to rate

A Czech-style pale lager at 3.8 percent, brewed with Bohemian floor-malted pilsner and Czech Saaz hops. The brewery wraps it in an invented tale about a scroll behind a wall — the ingredients are real, the 13th century isn't.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by noble hop character—spicy, herbal, and slightly floral notes from the Saaz variety are immediately apparent. Beneath lies a subtle Bohemian malt foundation with a clean, grainy sweetness and a whisper of bread crust. No yeast or adjunct aromas intrude.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and clean, with noble hop bitterness arriving gently in the mid-palate and building without aggression. Soft Bohemian malt sweetness provides body and a light bread-like quality that balances the herbal, slightly peppery finish of the hops. The structure is lean and precise.

◑ Finish
