About

Early inspiration for light American lager and thought to be from Budejovice, this crisp, balanced strain is lightly malty and finishes with very slight fruit notes. It is the backbone of the classic Czech Pilsner profile where the yeast character should neither dominate nor disappear among the beer's subtle balance of malts and hops.
