President

Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

A golden, bottom-fermented lager with a clearly bitter character, hopped with Sládek and Žatec semi-early red hops. Pilsner and Munich malts form the base. The brewery presents it as a tribute to a Czech invention and says its house lager is Czech in character but more bitter, because the republic's president was not content with the taste of the globalised Czech lager.

◌ Aroma

Beneath lies a clean, understated malt foundation from Pilsner and Munich varieties, offering breadiness without heaviness, followed by a crisp, dry impression typical of bottom fermentation.

◐ Taste

Entry is lean and malty, with the Pilsner and Munich malts providing a soft, slightly sweet foundation that quickly gives way to a pronounced bitter character. The mid-palate sustains this bitterness with herbal and resinous hop notes, creating a full-bodied sensation despite moderate alcohol, while maintaining excellent crispness throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and assertively bitter, with hop bitterness lingering cleanly on the palate for a moderate length. The aftertaste remains refreshing and free from any harsh or astringent notes, leaving a pleasant desire for another sip.
