Gambrinus 10

Czech Republic·Czech Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Gambrinus 10 is the brewery's ten-degree beer, now brewed with a fuller taste. It is made from three malt varieties and two Czech hop varieties, Sládek and Žatec semi-early red bine, and Sládek goes in again in the last phase of the boil for more hop aroma. The aim is a pleasantly bitter beer that quenches thirst: a fresh yet dense body that invites the next sip.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a pronounced noble hop character, where Sládek and Žatec semi-early varieties deliver floral and slightly herbal notes. A layer of soft Malz undertones supports the composition without overwhelming, while the late-boil hop addition contributes fresh, aromatic intensity. The overall impression is balanced between hop presence and delicate grain sweetness.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and crisp, establishing immediate hop bitterness that sits at a pleasant, medium level (22 IBU). The mid-palate reveals the three-malt foundation, delivering a full yet dry body that resists heaviness. The bitterness persists without harshness, creating a continuous quenching sensation that invites the next sip rather than fatiguing the palate.
