”A SVĚTLÝ LEŽÁK 12º czech style pale lager. Decoction mashed with bohemian floor malted pilsner malt & boiled with an absolute heap of Czech Saaz hops to a floral & bitter 40 IBU. A long cool fermentation with Urquell yeast & lagered for an eternity, before getting a tiny tiny dry hop with more Saaz before packaging. Total production time is almost 11 weeks!
It’s floral & crisp with a pleasing, almost aggressive bitterness that softens as you drink your way down the glass.”

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours fairly clear blonde, with fine white foam. Aroma is weak, a little herbal. Body is slightly dense, while carbonation is moderate. Taste is fairly bitter, with also some honey sweetness. Final is average.

Very surprised to find this in the fridge of La Canalla Gourmet in La Coruna. 440ml can drank at the back of the shop on 14th June 2022. Slight haze to the golden body (I allowed all the can to get into my glass); white topping. Decent hop bite to this one, it's (as the name suggests) fairly bitter in nature. Liked it.

Can courtesy of Steve Matthews cheers mate 🙋🏽‍♂️, from the White Hag BoxTravaganza, consumed Friday 27th August 2021 sat outside looking at the unbelievable views ar Delphi Camping, Campsite, Greece. Pours clear gold with a white head, turning a little murky when I poured the remainder of the can in. Soft moutheel, hoppiness apparent, sweetness but swiftly runs to dryness. There is a little lemonade edge to this. It's okay but I was expecting a bit more.
