Czech lager
Czech lager is a type of pale lager that originated in the Czech Republic, particularly in the city of Pilsen. Known for its crisp, clean taste, it typically features a light golden color and is brewed using pale malt and Saaz hops, which give it a mild, earthy flavor. The fermentation process is bottom-fermentation, meaning yeast settles at the bottom, resulting in a smooth finish. Czech lagers are often enjoyed for their refreshing qualities and balance of malt sweetness and hop bitterness, making them a popular choice worldwide. Examples include Pilsner Urquell and Budweiser Budvar.
