Godspeed Brewery
Tap to rate
🌍 Canada · Czech Pale Lager · One of 6 Czech Pale Lagers in hopIQ

A 10° lager at 3.9%, the strength most widely drunk in the Czech Republic and the one built for a second and third glass. Godspeed makes no concession for the low alcohol: floor-malted Czech pilsner malt, one hundred percent whole cone Saaz, decoction mashing, natural carbonation and a long cold maturation. The 10° is original gravity, not alcohol.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Desítka 10°

Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, sustained white head that clings to the glass in fine lacework. The carbonation is refined and persistent, creating a gentle stream of small bubbles that maintain the foam structure throughout the drinking experience.

Aroma

The nose leads with the characteristic noble spice and floral notes of Saaz hops, lending a refined herbaceous character. Beneath sits a clean malt foundation with subtle bread-like warmth, all supported by a mineral-fresh backdrop that speaks to the floor-malted Czech pilsner malt and the extended cold maturation.

Taste

Entry is crisp and clean, with restrained but elegant noble-hop bitterness that frames a soft, bready malt body. The mid-palate remains smooth and refreshing, balancing a gentle hop bite with the understated sweetness of well-processed pilsner malt, while the decoction technique adds depth without heaviness.
