Czech Lager 2016

Rebrew of previously brewed Czech Lager.

Result: Very similar to last time, but this time the result is slightly drier, and less rounded maltiness. Didn't do decoction this time. Still a wonderful beer as it is quite tasty but not highly alcoholic. Highly sessionable. Next time, use decoction.
