Vintage Czech

Canada·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

The Bohemian-leaning member of the Vintage line, unfiltered and naturally carbonated, so it arrives hazy gold under a dense head. Pilsner malt gives a soft bread-crust sweetness, and Saaz hops lay a herbal, hay-like spice over it with a hint of lemon peel. The bitterness is moderate and rounded rather than sharp, the body medium and slightly soft, and the finish leaves a dry, grainy impression.

Hazy golden hue with excellent clarity for an unfiltered lager, suspended yeast creating a soft, luminous quality. A dense, persistent head forms and clings to the glass with fine Schaumkleiden. Natural carbonation delivers a gentle, consistent bead.

◐ Taste

Soft entry with gentle Pilsner malt sweetness and grainy body. Mid-palate shows balanced herbal spice from the noble hops, a moderate bitterness that rounds rather than grips, and a clean, slightly soft mouthfeel. The profile remains dry and composed throughout.
