Husova

Italy·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Husova is modelled on the twelve-degree pale lagers of Bohemia. It is brewed by decoction with Czech floor-malted Pilsner malt, which accounts for the rich golden colour and for a malt base where honey is pronounced and a bready note stays light. Czech hop varieties supply the herbal and spicy character that goes with this type of lager.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced honey and light bready notes from the malt base, grounded in the cereal sweetness typical of traditional Bohemian pale lagers. Czech hop varieties layer in herbal and spicy character—a restrained, elegant profile that avoids aggressive florality. No yeast or fermentation esters dominate; instead, a subtle mineral undertone supports the overall balance.

◐ Taste

On the palate, Husova opens with soft malt sweetness and a clean, dry biscuit character that evolves through the mid-palate. Czech Edelhopfen deliver a controlled herbal and spicy bitterness—40 IBU is restrained enough to let malt integrity shine. The finish is crisp and refreshing, with a gentle grip of noble hop bitterness that does not overwhelm the delicate malt foundation.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and of moderate length, leaving behind a pleasant dryness and a faint herbal note. No heavy residue or cloying sweetness remains; instead, a subtle mineral quality and light spice linger briefly.
