Bohemia Regent Premium Pale Lager
Pivovar Regent Třeboň

 

Bright clear light amber color with an impressive long lived ivory head and some nice lacing.
The aroma is mild fresh bread, fresh cut grass and a touch of honey.
The taste is likewise, slightly sweet light caramel malt, bread,honey and grassy herbal hops well balanced moderate bitterness.
The body is light, well carbonated, smooth and very drinkable.
Altogether, this is an excellent example of Czech Pilsner, tasty, well balanced and refreshing. Should be great for all summer activities and good accompaniment for most foods.

 

 

Pours crystal-clear dark yellow, 3" off white head with good retention and lacing. Nose is straw, lemon, fresh cut grass; big floral notes and a good punch of honey. Taste is slightly metallic with some light barley mixed in as well; mild honey sweetness but balanced with an equal amount of bitterness. Mouthfeel is very soft but with small, crisp carbonation. Enjoyed this one!

 

 

500 ml bottle, ABV is 5.0%. Will probably be imported to Norway. Golden colour, big to moderate white head. Aroma of "dusty" pilsener malts and floral hops with honeyish notes, a hint of caramel too. The flavour has a decent balance between sweetish malts, honeyish notes and bitter hops in the finish. An okay pils.

Clear amber brew with a tall pile of persistent foam in the nonic. Perhaps a little sweet but certainly balanced with the surprising hop bite. Modest aromatics in the "skunk lite" vein, but some pleasing herbal notes. Malty sweetness on the lips and sudsy and sprightly mouthfeel.

Overall this is a better than average Lager in the Euro style. Highly quaffable with considerably more hop interest than many of these things. Clean and crisp with a resiny finish. From the 500 ml bottle purhased at Europa Express 2 in San Francisco.

 

Appearance: Brilliant, clear gold. Frothy white head with excellent retention. Slow rising bubbles.

Aroma: Bready malt and spicy/herbal hops aroma.

Flavor & Aftertaste: Bready malt and spicy hops flavor. Bitterness is fairly pronounced.

Mouth-feel: Medium to full bodied. Moderate carbonation. Crisp, clean medium length finish with trailing bitterness.

Overall: Nice snappy pale lager. Quite rich and flavorful. Bitterness is a bit much. Still not as good as Pilsner Urquell, but not too bad.

Bohemia Regent has a very thick, mousse-like, ivory head, heavy lacing, and an orange-gold appearance, with lazy bubbles. It is not so clear, with powdery (and some chunk) sediment. The aroma is of crackery malt and grassy hop resin. It has a similar flavor with strong bitterness. Bohemia Regent has a medium body and a crisp finish.

RJT

L- Pours a rich golden amber, clear, with a 1Cm white head that's holding well. [10mins later, continues to hold + forms lacing down sides].
S- Mild, I just get some bready grains.
T- Quite prominent dry trad bitter hops alongside some light bready malts.
F- The hopping is lingering on my tongue; I expect it would be refreshing on a hot summer's day.
O- Alas it's January and snowing, so the prominent hops without *any* balancing richness is not ideal right now. To sum up, it's a very trad-style lager, just with notably prominent/bitter hops. To me, in winter, the hops are majorly unbalanced. I'll finish it but I won't drink it again.

I do not know his source(s), but @tone77 really comes through for The CANQuest (tm)! I am getting ready to go on a hiatus (read prostate removal surgery) & I wanted to make sure that I got him the stash that I had set aside since his last visit. I was pleasantly surprised when he had MORE beer for me, including this one. Wow! Many thanks.

It is their verbiage that gives me pause. Is this truly a Bohemian Pilsner or should it be identified as a European Pale Lager? I plan to find out, beginning with a Crack! of the vent. I had a Lager glass at the ready, having been well-seasoned over the past several days as I recover from too many Stouts. My C-Line Glug led to some magnificent foaming that created two-plus fingers of dense, foamy, rocky, French Vanilla-colored head with excellent retention. Color was a very pretty Golden-Amber (SRM = > 5, < 7) with NE-quality clarity. Nose was a pleasant CANbination of biscuity malt & grassy Noble hops. Hmm. Mouthfeel was on the weak side of medium, just barely past thin & watery. The taste was only moderately hoppier than it was malty. It really did not measure up to Pilsner Urquell, which I think is the standard bearer for a Boho Pils. CANversely, in looking at the site's new Style Guide description of a Euro Pale Lager, it measures up nicely. I am leaving it as a Boho Pils, but the numbers get hurt as a result of rating to style & not to taste. It just did not pack the Noble Saaz flowery/grassy/hay-like punch of others in the style. Finish was dry & refreshing, but it just did not quite measure up, IMHO. YMMV.

Poured from a 16.9 oz. can. Has a deep golden color with a 1 inch head. Smell is of bready malts, grains. Taste is malts, grains, hops are present, very refreshing. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is doing a great job of quenching my thirst on this humid night.

It is quite a Bohemian lezák with some Saaz in the aroma/flavor but somehow tastes a but less full, more watery than the usual with sone bitterness in the end. Altogether not bad but somehow feels to fall behind the usual, great Czch lezáks. Still a good drink though!
