Previously known for their Pilsner style lager, Budweiser Budvar took everyone by surprise when they launched this uncharacteristically Czech dark lager in April 2004. In its home market it is labelled ‘Tmavý Ležák’, and in English speaking markets, ‘Dark Lager’, a direct translation.

Brewed using Moravian pale malt, Munich, caramel and roasted malts with 100% whole cone Saaz Czech hops.
