Notes

Recommended for Czech pilsner, Bohemian lager, pale lager.

Character: Dry, malty Czech-style lager character.

The Czech Budweis lager strain behind Bohemian pilsners, drier and a touch more characterful than the Weihenstephan 34/70, with a malty, dry finish. Ferment cold and lager it for the classic Czech pilsner profile.
