A classic Czech Pale Lager like Pilsner Urquell has a peppery bitterness laid over a rich, malty caramel base. <\/p>\n<p>German Pilsners (generally called Pils, such as Jever Pils) tend to be more hop-focused, with a lemony, herbal bitterness, although modern German Pils can be rather more restrained. <\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s Helles (such as Augustiner Helles, from Munich), which is even lighter in colour than Pilsner. <\/p>\n<p>Dark Lagers are equally interesting. Vienna Lagers are red-brown in colour and offer toastiness, some sweetness and a dry finish, while a Rauchbier - such as Schlenkerla Rauchbier Marzen, which is very dark \u2013 has a smoked beech character.<\/p>\n<p>The ingredients used to make Lager vary. Soft, rounded Pilsner malt is vital to Pilsners; Czech Golden Lagers use Saaz hops and Moravian malt. German Lagers are made with German hops (such as Hallertauer and Tettnang) and German malt. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-13588-1-2\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div
