After a brief break from our explorative lager series, we’ll be bringing back new takes on various lager styles over the course of the next few months. First up is this 4.2% Czech Pale Lager. A highly refreshing rendition of the series, this lager is light yet deep gold in color, with a lasting creamy white head on top. The aroma features bready malt with a spicy/herbal hop character and subtle caramel notes. On the palate- a pleasant, not overpowering maltiness, with a rounded, hoppy finish. The bitterness is noticeable but balanced, creating a flavorful, refreshing experience with a medium-light to medium body and moderate carbonation.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to stange glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: earthy spicy to herbal hoppiness with a light crackery malt backbone
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine snappy hop spicy tone to a very good sweet maltiness; finishes crisp with the snappy hop tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness strolling along the tongue with just a touch of the snappy hop tones - but I was expecting it so to me it was non-offensive
Overall: I say a nicely done Czech pilsener I would return to.
