Bohemian Pilsner

Ireland·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

A Czech-style pilsner brewed with Irish pilsner malt and the soft water that runs off the Galtee mountains above Mitchelstown. Hallertau, Hersbrucker and Lublin hops give a floral aroma with a hint of pepper. Pale gold with a white head, it is light, clean and delicate on the palate, with a subtle biscuity malt base, a little peppery hop spice and enough bitterness to hold interest. The finish is snappy and bitter.

◐ Taste

The palate enters light and delicate, with a subtle biscuity sweetness from the malt providing foundation without weight. A peppery hop spice develops through the mid-palate, balanced by a restrained but defining bitterness that prevents flatness. The beer remains crisp and refreshing throughout, with mineral notes suggesting the soft mountain water playing a supporting role.
