Strahov Easter Premium Pale Lager

Tap to rate

The brewery's Easter lager is brewed with a triple-decoction mash from just one kind of malt, Czech malt, and Saaz hops. It is medium fermented and medium bodied, with a higher level of bitterness, and one edition was described as crisp and slightly bitter. It returns every spring as a seasonal edition, and its strength varies a little from year to year. Cans of it have also been filled.

◌ Aroma

Noble Saaz hops deliver a refined, spicy-herbal character with delicate floral notes and a hint of pepper. Beneath the hops lies a clean, grainy maltiness from the single Czech malt, adding subtle depth without overwhelming the composition. The overall impression is restrained and elegant, with no prominent yeast esters or off-notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and dry, with a confident noble-hop bitterness that is pronounced yet never harsh. The malt provides a gentle bready sweetness that balances the bitterness, creating a well-integrated middle palate. The finish dries progressively, leaving a clean, slightly bitter aftertaste that invites another sip.
