Černá Hora Matouš

Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

A document of 16 July 1298 names the chamberlain Matouš z Černé Hory as a witness to a Templar ceremony; the beer drunk there was delivered by his wagons, so the ceremony was sealed with Černá Hora beer. This pale lager carries the same first name. It is brewed from drinking water, barley malts and hop products, and pasteurised.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with a soft, wheaten sweetness that builds through the mid-palate. Noble hops contribute a gentle bitterness and earthy spice without aggression. The finish is crisp and drying, with lingering malt and hop bitterness in near balance.
