Pilsners were created in the town Plzen or Pilsen,
located in the Bohemian section of the Czech Republic. It is for this reason that Czech Pilsners are also called Bohemian
Pilsners. German Pilsners are usually
named Pilsener or Pils. Pilsners are clear, and light yellow to golden in color.
The mouthfeel is usually crisp and floral. These beers feature a medium hoppiness and usually feature the region's native Saaz hops. The Saaz hop is one of the five
"noble hop" varieties in the world that are usually used for pilsners. The other four "noble hops"
are from Germany and are the Tettnang Tettnanger, Hallertau Mittelfrueh,
Spalt Spalter, and Hersbrucker Hersbrucker.
