Černá Hora Medový ležák

Tap to rate

Medový ležák is a traditionally brewed Czech lager flavoured with honey. The honey gives the beer a pleasantly sweetish scent and taste without overpowering its hop bitterness, a balance the brewery calls ideal for moments of calm. The Černá Hora brand describes its range as running from draught beer through several lagers to a special with honey.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by floral honey notes that sit gracefully atop a subtle Malz foundation. Noble hop character emerges as a delicate backdrop, with hints of herbal Edelhopfen without assertiveness. The overall aromatic profile is inviting and restrained, avoiding any cloying sweetness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a smooth sweetness from the honey that carries into the mid-palate without becoming heavy or unctuous. Bitterness from the hops maintains a measured presence, preventing the beer from tipping into saccharinity. The malty backbone provides structural support, with whispers of caramel that round out the overall impression.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderate in length, with the honey's sweetness gracefully receding as subtle hop bitterness takes the final word. The aftertaste remains dry and inviting, encouraging another sip.
