🌍 Canada · Czech Pale Lager · One of 8 Czech Pale Lagers in hopIQ

A Czech-inspired lager brewed with whole Saaz flowers and Moravian barley, deep gold in the glass. Saaz brings a spicy, herbal aroma with soft floral notes, and the malt answers with bread crust, a light honey sweetness and a touch of caramel. The balance sits closer to the malt than in a German pilsner, and the bitterness is rounded rather than sharp, closing soft and dry.

Aroma

The nose leads with the distinctive spicy and herbal character of Saaz flowers, layered with soft, delicate floral notes that do not overwhelm. Beneath this noble-hop foundation, the Moravian barley contributes bread crust and a light honey sweetness, with a whisper of caramel adding subtle depth without heaviness. The overall aromatics are harmonious and inviting, classic to the Czech pale lager style.

Taste

The palate entry is soft and malty, allowing the breadiness and honey notes to establish the foundation before the Saaz bitterness emerges in the mid-palate. This bitterness is rounded rather than sharp, integrating smoothly with the malt rather than dominating it. The balance tilts noticeably toward the grain, creating a fuller, slightly sweet character than a German pilsner would offer, with a fine caramel note supporting the finish.
