You won’t confuse this with an American lager. TJ’s Bohemian Lager is a medium-heavy filling brew. While labeled as a lager, it may be more of a pilsner. Whatever, it’s more European than American. There’s some bitterness to the brew. Probably not enough that many people would find it objectionable. By comparison it’s considerably less bitter than a Heineken, to my taste. TJ scores the beer with a bitterness rating of 18. TJ doesn’t list the calories. But judging by the sense of fullness I had after drinking only one, I suspect they’re considerably higher than most beers.
At 5% alcohol it’s, again, stronger than an American lager. An American lager generally has between a 3.5% and 4% alcohol content. Some of the light beers, a little less. TJ’s Bohemian Lager is made in San Jose, CA.
To complement this beer, queue up a Queen mp3 on your ear buds and have a little Bohemian Rhapsody to go along with your Bohemian Lager.
