Vídeňský Ležák

◎ Appearance

Deep red to copper hue with excellent clarity and a persistent, creamy head that leaves fine lacing down the glass. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, contributing to a refined presentation typical of the Vienna Lager style. The color reflects the careful use of Vienna malt and traditional decoction mashing.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced malty sweetness, layered with herbal and citrus accents from the Žatecký poloraný červeňák hops. Noble hop character shows restraint, allowing the rich Vienna malt foundation to shine alongside subtle spice and grain notes. The overall impression is clean and inviting, with no harsh or oxidative qualities.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and bready, with a full mouthfeel supported by the creamy carbonation and careful fermentation. Mid-palate develops harmonious bitterness that integrates seamlessly with caramel and bread-crust malt flavors, neither dominating. The finish balances residual sweetness against a clean, lingering hop bitterness that echoes herbal and subtle citrus notes.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste persists with elegance, showing a dry, hop-tinged conclusion that complements the malty foundation. Bitterness fades gradually without harshness, leaving a clean palate ready for the next sip.
