Egon – Böhmisches Pils

◎ Appearance

Light amber and opalescent in the glass, with a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the sides of the glass. The unfiltered character creates a subtle cloudiness that catches the light, lending visual warmth and depth to the pour. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a distinct blueberry note, followed by bright citrus fruit—characteristic of the late Citra addition—layered beneath a clean, resinous pine character from the Saazer dry-hopping. A soft, bready malt foundation underpins the composition without overwhelming. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, with no sulfur or yeast-driven esters.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry, with the malt providing a gentle sweetness that quickly yields to a layered hop bitterness. Mid-palate shows the interplay of blueberry and pine alongside a balanced, moderately dry Malz character. The finish is clean, with a pleasant herbal hop bite that never becomes harsh or overly astringent.

◑ Finish

A medium-length finish with lingering pine and citrus notes that gradually fade to a pleasant, dry aftertaste. The bitterness recedes gracefully, leaving the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.
