Chotěboř Plus

Tap to rate

Unfiltered, with a natural beer character and a full taste; the cloudiness from yeast makes it lively and fresh. Chotěboř Plus is an unfiltered ležák of 11.5 degrees, bottom-fermented and left with its yeast, so that it shows the traditional craft of the brewery. Unfiltered beer drawn from the lagering tank is a popular choice at the Chotěboř brewery.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Chotěboř Plus

◎ Appearance

Chotěboř Plus presents a pale golden hue with pronounced haziness from suspended yeast, creating an opaque, cloudy appearance that signals its unfiltered nature. The head is modest but persistent, with fine bubbles and natural lacing that speaks to careful conditioning. Carbonation appears moderate and integrated, characteristic of a lagering cellar draw.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with gentle yeast character—earthy and slightly phenolic notes from the living culture—alongside soft, bready malt tones. A light herbal hop presence provides subtle structure without aggression, while the overall aromatic profile conveys freshness and craft authenticity. There is no harsh solvent or oxidative edge; instead, a clean, wholesome brewery character dominates.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with soft Malz sweetness that frames the palate without cloying. Mid-palate develops a gentle malty foundation punctuated by restrained hop bitterness (35 IBU) that lingers moderately. The yeast presence adds complexity and texture, creating a lively, drinkable quality that encourages continued sips rather than dominating with intensity.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and reasonably dry, with lingering malty notes and a subtle yeasty complexity that persists softly on the palate. Aftertaste remains refreshing and free of harshness, inviting another drink.
