Gambrinus Dry

Czech Republic·Czech Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Gambrinus Dry is a Pilsen lager with a higher degree of fermentation, so it contains less sugar. The brewery made it for beer drinkers with a modern lifestyle who, within a recommended diet, enjoy beer in limited amounts. The classic brewing process keeps the good taste properties of Pilsner-style beer, with a gentle bitterness from Sládek hops.
