Commercial Description:
In 1985 before The Wall fell, and just after the birth of our youngest daughter, Dan followed his Siren’s Call making the true Brewer’s pilgrimage to the birthplace of modern beer; Pilsen. Inspired by the noble brew he scribbled notes; triple decoction, 100% Czech Moravian malt, fermentation in unlined oak tanks, generous amounts of Saaz Hops, Krausening and a three month ice cold lager. An elegant masterpiece of complexity lost to change in the Czech Republic. We resurrect and invest, by brewing without compromise, that exact Old World recipe and this is the brew - Bohemian Lager.

Tasty A bit too sweet, not hoppy enough, not interestng enough flavor. Middle taste reminds me of crappy beers, but in a good way (and I hate crappy beers)

12oz - Aroma of pilsner malt and saaz hops. Mild flavor is sweet and malty with a touch of hop bitterness. Palate is crisp and clean. A nice lager for sure.

Sampled at Lithy’s Septemberfest Tasting. Clear pale straw with wispy white thin head. Nose of grassy sweet corn. Flavor is grassy bitter hops. Good for style I suppose, but not really for me.

Great work new glarus!

lightly hazy gold, fluffy white head. Nose is herbal hops, some peppery spice, toasty malt, some tea-like astringency. Flavor is toasty malt, tingly spicy hop. Nice crisp bitterness. Perhaps a bit too much sweetness remains in the finish accompanied by more of those herbal, tingly hops.

Bottle thanks to Barrythebear (BA)!
Transparent gold and almost no head, a fizzy white ring is soon all that remains. Very soft, floral nose of pale malt, slightly burnt toast as a highlight. Flavor is bursting with a fantastic balance of crisp, grassy hop bitterness and lightly grainy, biscuity malt. Then comes the heavy dough sweetness, elevating the palate. Very long, balanced finish, ultra crisp and superbly refreshing. Could drink this all day.

I bought this beer because I find this brewer to be interesting, but I find the style to generally be pretty unexciting. But this beer was pretty interesting. A dark straw color with a ton of head. Aroma was Saaz hops and a ton of cereal-ness. Flavor was more of the same. Now, sour, sweet, malt-ball like graininess I am not a fan of, but the fresh cereal-y taste of cooked toasted grains can be pretty pleasant, and this beer had that in spades. Mouthfeel is pretty unremarkable. Pretty good. I bought this bottle at Riley’s in Madison, WI.

Aroma is of grainy malt with some slight fruits. Fruits come out more in the flavor. Pretty decent beer.
