About

Budějovický Budvar crafts this dark lager using the same traditional methods as their flagship pale beer, employing Saaz hops, Moravian malt, and water drawn from deep wells beneath the brewery. The result is a dark brown lager with a subtle balance between roasted malt and classic Czech hop bitterness. The nose reveals restrained roasted malt with hints of caramel and light fruit notes. On the palate, a soft, lightly malty character emerges with dark bread and pleasant hop bitterness that remains measured and refined. The finish is clean and dry, true to authentic Czech lager tradition.
