Blind Pils

Italy·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Blind Pils is Birrone's Czech-style counterpart to its own Pils and follows the brewing tradition of the Czech Republic. The decisive difference lies in the decoction mash, which brings the malt to the fore, so that it balances an ample hop bitterness. Hopping is pronounced yet elegant, and the result is an intense, aromatic lager in which malt and hops carry equal weight. Bottom-fermented, 4.8 %.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Blind Pils

◎ Appearance

Blind Pils presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation. The head forms dense and persistent, with tight Schaumhaftung that clings to the glass in fine lacing. The overall presentation is bright and inviting, characteristic of well-crafted Czech lager.

◌ Aroma

The nose reveals a refined balance of noble hop character and malt backbone. Noble Edelhopfen varieties contribute a delicate, spicy-herbal quality without aggression, while the decoction mash brings forward subtle bread-like malt notes with a touch of grain sweetness. The overall impression is aromatic yet restrained, inviting further exploration.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and refreshing, with malt-forward character establishing the foundation before hop bitterness emerges gradually. The mid-palate balances pronounced hop bite with a substantial malt presence, creating tension rather than dominance from either element. The 22 IBU delivers significant bitterness that feels integrated and purposeful, supported by the beer's full body.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with hop bitterness extending into a sustained aftertaste. Malt sweetness fades gracefully, allowing the noble hop character to carry through to the final note.
