Staropramen Extra Chmel

Tap to rate

An intense hop aroma from a single Czech hop, Premiant, bred from the Saaz variety Poloraný červeňák, leads this cold-hopped lager, with a notably higher, pleasant and refreshing bitterness. A medium-full malt body from Czech and Bavarian malt carries it, and the hop bitterness supports its high drinkability.
