BJCP 2B

BJCP 2008 2B Bohemian Pilsener style example
2B - Pilsner / Bohemian Pilsener

 

IMPRESSION

Crisp, complex and well-rounded yet refreshing.

COMMENTS

Uses Moravian malted barley and a decoction mash for rich, malt character. Saaz hops and low sulfate, low carbonate water provide a distinctively soft, rounded hop profile. Traditional yeast sometimes can provide a background diacetyl note. Dextrins provide additional body, and diacetyl enhances the perception of a fuller palate.

EXAMPLES

Pilsner Urquell, Krušovice Imperial 12°, Budweiser Budvar (Czechvar in the US), Czech Rebel, Staropramen, Gambrinus Pilsner, Zlaty Bazant Golden Pheasant, Dock Street Bohemian Pilsner
