Bohém

Tap to rate

A pleasant hop aroma and a balanced, long-lasting bitterness set the tone in this premium pale lager. Žatec Poloraný Červeňák, Sládek and Premiant hops team up with barley and wheat malt, and no hop extract is used. Water comes from the brewery's own wells in the Křivoklát forests, the beer starts from 11.5 degrees of original gravity, and the brewers say they concentrated hard on its recipe.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a prominent noble hop character, displaying floral and herbal notes from the Žatec Poloraný Červeňák, Sládek, and Premiant varieties. Subtle malty undertones emerge beneath, suggesting soft grain and bread crust from the barley and wheat malt blend. The aroma is clean and focused, with no off-notes, reflecting the use of pure ingredients and the brewery's proprietary well water.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a crisp, refreshing entry that balances a pronounced but refined bitterness (37 IBU) with malty sweetness. The mid-palate develops a bready, slightly wheaty character that provides body without heaviness, while the noble hops maintain a persistent, clean bitterness. The finish is dry and smooth, with the bittering hops receding gracefully into a lingering, noble hop aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and satisfying, with the hop bitterness fading into a gentle noble hop spiciness and a whisper of malty grain. The aftertaste remains clean and refreshing, inviting the next sip without becoming astringent or cloying.
