Kozel Premium
Kozel ('Billy Goat') Premium is Prazdroj's premium domestic lager brand, brewed at Velké Popovice outside Prague since 1874. Full-bodied for a pale lager with a smooth malt character, gentle Saaz bitterness and a clean, well-balanced finish. Kozel Premium is one of the Czech Republic's most drunk lagers and is the dominant brand in Central and Eastern Europe outside the Czech market.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Kozel Premium
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.

What is a Czech Pilsner?
Pilsners are crisp golden lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 25–45. Defined by spicy, floral Saaz hops over a light malt backbone — bright carbonation and a dry bitter finish.
