BJCP Style Info: Bohemian Pilsener
| O.G.: | 1.044 - 1.056 |
| F.G.: | 1.013 - 1.017 |
| ABV: | 4.2 - 5.4% |
| Bitterness: | 35 - 45 IBUs |
| Color: | 3.5 - 6 SRM |
| Info: | 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. Commercial Examples: Pilsner Urquell, Kru?ovice Imperial 12°, Budweiser Budvar (Czechvar in the US), Czech Rebel, Staropramen, Gambrinus Pilsner, Zlaty Bazant Golden Pheasant, Dock Street Bohemian Pilsner. |
