Bitterness is prominent but never harsh. Flavorful and refreshing. Diacetyl or fruity esters are acceptable at low levels, but need not be present and should never be overbearing. Mouthfeel: Medium-light to medium body. Moderate carbonation."

(def czech-premium-pale-lager
"Rich, characterful, pale Czech lager, with considerable malt and hop character and a long, rounded finish.
Complex yet well-balanced and refreshing.
The malt flavors are complex for a Pilsner-type beer, and the bitterness is strong but clean and without harshness, which gives a rounded impression that enhances drinkability."

Light diacetyl, or very low fruity hop-derived esters are acceptable, but need not be present. Appearance: Gold to deep gold color. Brilliant to very clear clarity. Dense, long-lasting, creamy white head. Flavor: Rich, complex, bready maltiness combined with a pronounced yet soft and rounded bitterness and floral and spicy hop flavor. Malt and hop flavors are medium to medium-high, and the malt may contain a slight impression of caramel. Bitterness is prominent but never harsh. The long finish can be balanced towards hops or malt but is never aggressively tilted either way. Light to moderate diacetyl and low hop-derived esters are acceptable, but need not be present. Mouthfeel: Medium body. Moderate to low carbonation."

Spicy hop flavor can be moderately-low to none. Hop bitterness may be moderate to medium-low but should be perceptible. Balance can vary from malty to relatively well-balanced to gently hop-forward. Low to moderate diacetyl and light plum or berry esters may be present. Mouthfeel: Medium to medium-full body, considerable mouthfeel without being heavy or cloying. Moderately creamy in texture.
