Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Chotěboř Tankové

Pale golden hue with a hazy, naturally cloudy appearance characteristic of unfiltered cellar beer. The head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass walls, leaving defined lacing with each sip. Fine carbonation creates a gentle, lively visual impression.

◌ Aroma

Clean and straightforward malt-driven nose with soft, bready notes emerging from the unfiltered character. Subtle Saaz-derived herbal and spicy undertones provide gentle complexity without dominating. A light, yeasty earthiness rounds out the profile—the nose of a beer in its most natural state, fresh from the lagering cellar.

◐ Taste

Smooth entry with a satisfying fullness that coats the palate without heaviness. The mid-palate reveals clean malt sweetness and subtle bready character, while moderate noble-hop bitterness (35 IBU) provides structure and balance. The beer remains crisp and refreshing throughout, with a natural roundness that speaks to its unfiltered, unpasteurized character.
