Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

A pleasantly pronounced bitterness and a typically full taste mark this light lager, carried by lively carbonation and a head that builds well. It is brewed in the traditional two-decoction way, ferments in open vessels and then rests in the lagering cellar, where the brewery gives its lagers up to 40 days. A lager from Hlinsko, where the brewery has stood since 1913.

The finish remains crisp and clean, with the hop bitterness lingering gently without harshness.
