Dešťoffka

Tap to rate

Beautifully bitter, crisp and easy to drink, with a pleasant finish: this pale Czech draught beer of 10° gravity combines floor-malted Pilsner and Vienna malt with Žatecký poloraný červeňák and Sládek hops, and is fermented to a lower attenuation. Its brewers hold that a brewery is known by its ten-degree beer.

◐ Taste

Entry is refreshingly crisp with immediate bitter hop bite balanced by soft malt sweetness. Mid-palate remains dry and lean, with bitter compounds building steadily. The lower attenuation preserves delicate residual sweetness that prevents harshness, while hop bitterness persists cleanly without astringency.

Medium-length finish transitions from hop bitterness to a dry, malty aftertaste with gentle noble-hop character. Pleasant and uncluttered, leaving the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.
