Kopřivový Benedict

Tap to rate

The green nettle beer is an Easter tradition at the brewery. Its natural green colour comes from blue spirulina, a pigment from a freshwater alga, and a nettle extract, stronger in the latest brew, gives noticeable nettle tones. The brewery calls it cheerful, full of joy and spring, with a balanced taste; it is malty, slightly herbal and bitterish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Kopřivový Benedict

◎ Appearance

Pale greenish-yellow hue, derived from blue spirulina and nettle extract, creating a distinctive spring character. The beer displays good clarity with a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. Moderate carbonation produces steady, delicate bubbles throughout the pour.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a balanced malty sweetness before nettle and herbal tones assert themselves mid-palate, creating a bracing, refreshing quality. Moderate bitterness (28 IBU) arrives gradually, never aggressive, and is offset by the beer's smooth mouthfeel. Caramel notes linger beneath the herbal backbone, maintaining equilibrium throughout.
