Benedict Nachmelený 11°

Tap to rate

'Nachmelený' is Czech for 'hopped up', and this 11° India pale lager sets a pronounced hop bitterness against the unfiltered, unpasteurised base of a pale lager. Drinkers notice the bitterness first, and it is what sets this beer apart. It stands next to the brewery's Světlý and Tmavý as the third lager of the regular taproom range.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Benedict Nachmelený 11°

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with slight cloudiness from the unfiltered, unpasteurised brewing process. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with visible lacing. Bright carbonation animates the body, creating an inviting, lively presence.

◌ Aroma

Noble hops dominate the nose, delivering a clean, herbaceous character with hints of citrus restraint. The pale malz base supports without prominence, offering a soft grain sweetness. No yeast-derived esters or phenolics intrude; the profile remains crisp and direct.

◐ Taste

Bitterness arrives immediately and defines the palate, stemming from a measured 45 IBU that feels assertive without harshness. The malz provides a lean, dry foundation that amplifies the hop bite rather than softening it. Mid-palate remains taut and refreshing, with a mineral, almost peppery quality that extends the hoppy perception.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
