Czech-Inspired Pale Lager|4% ABV

Otava is our 10° Czech-inspired pale lager, brewed using traditional methods and ingredients to create a flavor profile reminiscent of the small lagers served in pubs throughout the Czech Republic. Otava is only the second Czech-inspired beer we've brewed here at CW as our team has worked to best understand process and tradition before creating an example of a style to share with our guests. Otava exhibits soft and delicate honey-like maltiness with firm but balanced classic saaz hop notes.

Brewery lukr 5/2/25.
Clear bright gold. Creamy, white head.
This smells incredible! Rich mineral/heirloom-like yeast and bright, herb-and-spice from hop with a smattering of delicate honey and sourdough from the malt. Clean, clear, aromatic.
Excellent yeast character with fresh plaster and rich minerality. Hints of honey with light baguette and cracker. Good depth without overdoing it on maltiness. Hops are flavorful and not too bitter. Crisp finish. Love the yeastiness. Love the amount of flavor for its size. This is exactly what I want out of a lager. Love the yeast focus most of all.
