Budvar Original z čerstvého chmele

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a distinctly hazy, cloudy appearance from the unfiltered format—particles of yeast and hop matter suspend throughout, catching light with a soft luminescence. The dense, creamy head forms generously and clings persistently to the glass walls, demonstrating strong foam stability characteristic of fresh-hop lagers.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by vibrant noble-hop character, with herbal, slightly spicy notes and a whisper of grass and earthiness from the freshly picked hops. Beneath lies a clean, bready Malz foundation with a subtle sweetness, while the yeast contributes a light, delicate esters without harshness—a clean fermentation profile underscores the entire bouquet.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and bright, with a lean, elegant malt body that carries subtle bread and grain notes without heaviness. Hop bitterness arrives at mid-palate with a dry, noble character—not aggressive, but persistent—and integrates seamlessly with the clean, slightly grassy hop flavour. The finish maintains a smooth, balanced dryness where noble hops and Malz minerality complete each sip with composure.

◑ Finish

A clean, lingering finish that carries subtle hop bitterness and a dry Malz note without any cloying sweetness. The aftertaste is refreshing and mineral-forward, fading gracefully with a whisper of herbal hop character.
