Bohemian-Style Pilsener

(Description courtesy of Beer Advocate)

The Bohemian Pilsener has a slightly sweet and evident malt character and a toasted, biscuit-like, bready malt character. Hop bitterness is perceived as medium with a low to medium-low level of noble-type hop aroma and flavor. This style originated in 1842, with “pilsener” originally indicating an appellation in the Czech Republic. Classic examples of this style used to be conditioned in wooden tanks and had a less sharp hop bitterness despite the similar IBU ranges to German-style Pilsener. Bohemian-Style Pilseners are darker in color and higher in final gravity than their German counterparts.

-Color - Straw to gold

-Clarity: Appearance should be bright; chill haze should not be present

-Body: Medium

-ABV: 4.1%-5.1%

-Glassware: Pilsner Glass or Pokal - Typically a tall, slender and tapered 12-ounce glass, shaped like a trumpet at times, that captures the sparkling effervesces and colors of a Pils while maintaining its head. A Pokal is a European Pilsner glass with a stem.

Benefits: Showcases color, clarity and carbonation. Promotes head retention.

Pilsner Urquell | Plzeňský Prazdroj

Brewed by:
Plzeňský Prazdroj
Czech Republic
prazdrojvisit.cz

Style: Bohemian Pilsener

Alcohol by volume (ABV): 4.40%


Notes / Commercial Description:
While most lagers give away most of their taste profile in the front of the mouth, Pilsner Urquell only hints at its flavour there. Instead, it develops in the middle, followed by a refreshing, clean finish and balanced aftertaste, practically inviting you to have another.

Brewed by:
Lagunitas Brewing Company
California, United States
lagunitas.com

Style: Bohemian Pilsener

Alcohol by volume (ABV): 6.20%

Notes / Commercial Description:
Our only Lager, brewed with loads of imported Saaz hops and a bottom-fermenting yeast strain that leaves it Light and Crisp and Easy to Slam, yet full of real flavor and all the things you yearn for.
