Gambrinus Originál 10

Czech Republic·Czech Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Gambrinus Originál 10 is the bottled and canned ten-degree beer meant to refresh even away from the pub. After the recipe change it opens with a strong hop aroma and a fuller taste. Sládek hops are added in the last phase of the boil, the brewers balance their own Czech malt and the hop so it tastes the same from first to last sip, and a double decoction mash is used.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a pronounced hop character—floral and herbal notes from the Sládek variety come through clearly. Beneath the hop aromatics, soft Czech malt provides a light grain sweetness with subtle bread-like undertones. The overall impression is balanced and inviting, with no harsh edges.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a clean, refreshing hop bitterness that sits comfortably at 24 IBU. Soft Czech malt forms the foundation, delivering a malty sweetness that threads through the mid-palate without any heaviness. The double decoction mash contributes a smooth texture and subtle complexity, while the finish remains dry and mineral-clean.
