Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

A pleasant hop aroma leads into a rounded, fuller body with a proper head, zing and a noble bitterness that Moravian malts bring into harmony. Water from the Křemešník hill and Žatec Semi-Early Red hops form the heart of this unpasteurised pale lager. It has won one gold and one silver medal, in 2015 and 2021.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a rounded, fuller body that delivers substance without heaviness. Moravian malts provide a gentle sweetness and bready note in the mid-palate, while the noble bitterness emerges steadily—neither sharp nor overwhelming, but purposeful and elegant. The finish transitions cleanly into a dry, refreshing aftertaste.
