Bohemia is a lush region in the southwest corner of the Czech Republic that is rich in brewing tradition. The Bohemian were pioneers in brewing their beers clear and golden, using bottom fermenting lager yeasts. Trader Joe’s Bohemian Lager is brewed using the finest imperial pilsner malted barley and aroma hops, resulting in a wonderfully refreshing beer. Beer stats 5% ABV, 18 IBUs. Fermented using lager yeasts

Pale yellow colour with a bunch of small bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of nice fresh malt with some yeast coming in the nose as well. Medium-bodied; Strong malty flavours with a light hoppy taste and an effervescence that lasts in the mouth. Aftertaste is strong, but not bad at all. Overall, a decent beer that really can’t be faulted too much for $0.79 a bottle. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Trader Joe’s (no kidding, huh) in Skyline (Bailey’s Crossroads), Virginia on 03-March-2007.

Bottle. Golden amber beer with an off-white head. Slight mineral hop aroma. Sweet malt flavor with some grassy citrus hops, breadiness, and slight mineral tones. Lingering bready malts. easy to drink.

They are not so far off from what a Bohemian Pilsener should be. They got the appearance and aroma right. Good, considerable carbonation and a tall white head. Some hop and malt aroma. Flavor lacks bite and, flavor. The flavor is too light, and what is there is too dry. But it isn’t bad and fairly pleasant on a humid day. Purchased at Trader Joes, St. Louis Park, MN.

Bottled. U.S. Beer #18 of 31 for American Beer Month! Batch dated 3/14/05. Well, someone brings in one Trader Joe’s, and I think "Let’s see what else they’ve got." So this one pours a yellow body, tending toward gold, with a fluffy head and a big stream of bubbles. Basic "beer" smell with a slight bit of oxidation. Decent German hops are mostly for bitterness, with a scosh of aroma. Pretty decent for a store-brand beer. But no, I wouldn’t run out to get more.
