Hubertus Zelený chmel

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with exceptional clarity and bright translucence. A fine, white head forms readily and maintains good lacing on the glass throughout the pour. Carbonation appears lively and well-integrated, creating a delicate mousse that persists.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent fresh green hop character—herbal, grassy, and distinctly alive. Beneath this vibrant hop layer lies a subtle malt backbone with soft bready notes. The aroma remains clean and crisp, with no yeast-derived esters or phenols, allowing the green hop freshness to remain in the foreground.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a light, clean hop bitterness that unfolds gradually across the mid-palate. Grassy, noble-hop character dominates the flavor profile with a gentle malty sweetness that balances the 22 IBU bite. The beer maintains a smooth, crisp structure throughout, with no harsh edges or lingering astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and refreshing, with lingering hop bitterness that gradually fades. A pleasant grassiness remains on the palate, leaving the drinker wanting another sip.
