Kocour FreshHop 13
A pale ale brewed with 30 kilograms of fresh hops from the brewery's own garden, as a description of the beer says. The name FreshHop points to those fresh hops. The beer is poured on draft at the Kocour brewery itself and is also sold in bottles. Kocour brews in Varnsdorf, in the far north of Czechia, in the former ceramic factory of the Böttcher brothers.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Kocour FreshHop 13
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
