Tap to rate

Narragansett Bohemian Pilsner is a pale lager hopped with Saaz from the Czech Republic. It is light in body and slightly hoppy, with a clean flavor. Pale malt gives soft cracker and fresh bread notes, while the Saaz adds a gently spicy, herbal and lightly floral character to aroma and palate. The bitterness stays restrained, and the beer ends crisp with a faint hop spice.
