Bernard Bohemian Ale, 8.2%, 0.5 l

Bernard Bohemian Ale is a special light top-fermented Strong Golden Ale brewed by Bernard Family Brewery, one of the most respected independent breweries in the Czech Republic. Unlike traditional Czech lagers, this beer is created using ale fermentation techniques. Its distinctive feature is bottle conditioning, where additional yeast is added during bottling, allowing the beer to continue maturing and develop a more complex aroma and flavor profile.

The beer has a bright golden color with a dense, persistent head. Its aroma reveals fresh fruity notes, gentle malt tones, and subtle spicy nuances. The palate is rich and layered, combining a clean malt foundation with fruity freshness, a hint of coriander spice, and gentle warming notes that develop into a long and pleasant finish.

Bernard Bohemian Ale is brewed using drinking water, barley malts, hop products, sugar, yeast, and coriander. The combination of top fermentation and bottle conditioning creates a more complex structure, rounded flavor, and distinctive character that sets it apart from classic Czech lagers.

The beer is best served chilled, but not overly cold, allowing its fruity and spicy aromas to fully develop. Bernard Bohemian Ale pairs well with aged cheeses, grilled meats, steaks, smoked foods, caramel desserts, and nuts. It is an excellent choice for those looking for a distinctive craft-style beer with depth and character.
