Czech Pale Lager

Czech Pale Lager (Světlý Ležák) is a crisp, golden beer with a rich hop character, moderate bitterness, and complex malt profile that originated in the Czech Republic. It typically features Moravian malts, Czech Saaz hops, and is brewed using decoction mashing with a soft water profile. This style is exemplified by Pilsner Urquell, which created the template for this refreshing, balanced beer with a distinctive hop-forward profile that remains the backbone of Czech brewing tradition.
