Višňový ležák

Tap to rate

A semi-dark flavoured lager with a bittersweet taste in which sour cherry plays a pronounced part; the brewery pitches it at fans of fresh-tasting fruit beers. A sour cherry base goes in; the malt bill matches the bilberry lager: Pilsner, Vienna, Munich and caramel malts with Premiant and ŽPČ hops, at 12° Plato.

◌ Aroma

Sour cherry dominates the nose with a bright, tart character that sits comfortably against a soft, grainy malted backdrop. Notes of caramel and light stone fruit emerge beneath, while Premiant and ŽPČ hops contribute subtle herbal and slightly spicy undertones without aggressive punch. The overall bouquet is fresh and inviting, balancing fruit acidity with malt sweetness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced sour cherry and berry character, delivering the promised bittersweet balance. Mid-palate reveals caramel and Vienna malt softness, supported by a restrained bitterness (10 IBU) that keeps the beer refreshing rather than heavy. The finish is clean and smooth-drinking, with acidity providing lift and preventing cloying sweetness.
