Simple Things Bohemian

Tap to rate

A Czech-style pilsner made from Bohemian pilsner malt and Saaz hops and left to rest in tank for at least six weeks. Deep golden straw in colour with a very faint haze and crisp white foam. Fresh bread dough dominates the nose, supported by delicate spicy, floral and fruit notes. Bitterness is pronounced and comes with a carbonic bite, yet stays soft and rounded. At 4.3 % it is lighter than the brewery's dry-hopped core lager and keeps to the classic recipe, with malted barley and noble hops in balance.

◌ Aroma

Fresh bread dough leads the nose, evoking the character of Bohemian pilsner malt. Behind this foundation sit delicate spicy and floral notes, with subtle fruit undertones that suggest careful hop selection and the influence of extended maturation. The Saaz hop signature is restrained but distinct.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced bitterness that carries a crisp carbonic bite, yet remains soft and rounded rather than harsh. Malt sweetness provides a gentle counterweight without heaviness. The interplay between clean, dry bitterness and modest malt body reflects the classical balance of the style, finishing with a lingering but not aggressive edge.

Serve at 4–7°C

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass

The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.

Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
