Medový ležák

Tap to rate

Real honey from the brewery's own bees gives this pale flavoured lager its honey taste. The brewery, which also makes its own cheese and grows vegetables and plums on site, adds the honey to a lager brewed with Pilsner, Vienna, Munich and caramel malts and Premiant and ŽPČ hops, at 11° Plato.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by the prominent, floral honey character from the brewery's own bees, which sits harmoniously atop a soft, bready malted barley foundation. Supporting notes of Vienna and Munich malts contribute warm, slightly caramel-tinged undertones. Noble hop aromatics from Premiant and ŽPČ provide restrained herbal depth without asserting themselves.

◐ Taste

Honey sweetness enters cleanly on the palate, followed by a smooth, round mid-palate character drawn from caramel and Vienna malts. The honey integrates seamlessly into the malt structure rather than standing apart, creating a balanced, accessible drinking experience. Bitterness remains subdued at 25 IBU, allowing the malt-honey interplay to dominate without astringency or harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium-short, with the honey's sweetness gently fading into a soft, drying malt aftertaste. No harsh edges or cloying residue lingers; the beer closes with the straightforward character of a well-balanced pale lager.
