Sagres Bohemia is presented in a 330 ml glass bottle with a deep red label and gold accents, the packaging mirrors the beer’s amber hue, conveying a sense of heritage and quality.

The jury was particularly drawn to the beer’s visual appeal, marked by a clear, reddish-amber colour and brilliant clarity. A beige, moderately persistent foam lends contrast and reinforces the impression of richness.

Aromatically, Sagres Bohemia delivers a warm and inviting nose, where caramel and malt take centre stage. These dominant notes are delicately layered with hints of biscuit and spice, offering an aromatic profile that is true to the Märzen style while remaining approachable.

On the palate, the beer shows commendable balance. Caramel sweetness opens the profile, followed by a measured bitterness that brings structure without harshness. Subtle notes of dark cherry and roasted coffee add interest and depth, while the overall flavour remains focused and clean. The finish is tidy and lightly astringent, enhancing refreshment and drinkability.

With its smooth, medium-bodied mouthfeel and integrated carbonation, Sagres Bohemia delivers a drinking experience that is both satisfying and refined. For its malt complexity, clarity of style and overall harmony, it stands out as a finalist for the 2025 Jury Prize.
