Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Harmonie brings herbal and floral tones with a light citrus line, while Saaz Shine, low in bitter acids, shapes an elegant, pleasant bitter profile. The high attenuation typical of all the brewery's lagers gives both hops room to shine. A bottom-fermented lager of Pilsner type, made to sit between the easy-drinking ten and the intense twelve; Saaz Shine was registered as a variety in 2019.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and clean, with delicate floral and herbal impressions unfolding across the palate. Mid-palate reveals a light malty sweetness and soft bready undertones, while the noble hops deliver an elegant, restrained bitterness that feels pleasant rather than sharp. The high attenuation ensures these dry, crisp sensations develop without heaviness.
