Dva kohouti Místní Helles 11°

Tap to rate

A Helles devised and brewed by sub-brewer Dan, inspired by the original German style: less hopped, with a pronounced malt body, higher carbonation and a high degree of attenuation. German Pilsner malt, Tettnang hops and German bottom-fermenting yeast go into it, and it is brewed in the courtyard brewhouse in Prague-Karlín.

AI-generated sensory profile for Dva kohouti Místní Helles 11°

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A fine, persistent white head forms quickly and clings to the glass with visible lacing. High carbonation animates the body with steady streams of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

Clean and inviting, with distinct noble hop character—restrained floral and herbal notes from Tettnang—layered over a soft malt foundation. No yeast phenolics or fruity esters intrude; the German bottom-fermentation imparts a crisp, neutral backdrop that lets the interplay of grain and hop aromatics breathe.

◐ Taste

Malt-forward entry with gentle breadiness and a light, slightly sweet grain character that anchors the palate. Mid-palate remains dry and brisk, with restrained Tettnang bitterness (25 IBU) providing balance without assertiveness. The high attenuation delivers crispness and a clean, mineral-like finish to each sip.
