Březňák Světlé výčepní

Czech Republic·Czech Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Golden and easy to drink: this pale draught beer refreshes with its taste and its bitterness and invites another sip. Its aroma comes from triple hopping with the Žatecký poloraný červeňák hop, and the foam is so dense it leaves a moustache under your nose. Brewed in the old-school Březňák tradition, it has won several competitions, among them PIVEX Brno and Dočesná in Žatec.

◌ Aroma

The nose exhibits the signature character of Žatecký poloraný červeňák hops deployed across three additions, presenting a refined herbal and slightly floral hop profile without aggressive resin or citrus notes. Subtle malt undertones provide a clean, grainy foundation that supports the hoppy character without dominating the overall impression.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with crisp, refreshing entry and a dry, well-balanced mid-section where moderate bitterness from the noble hops integrates seamlessly with light malt sweetness. The 22 IBU bitterness is present and clean, lingering pleasantly without becoming harsh, while the 4% ABV keeps the beer light and food-friendly throughout.
