Krakonoš Výčepní pivo 10 světlé

Tap to rate

Light výčepní at 10°, with a fitting bitterness, a medium body and a foaming head. It is brewed the classic bottom-fermented way, unpasteurised and microbially filtered, with water from the brewery's own well in the heart of Trutnov – more than 80 metres deep and fed by springs from the Krkonoše mountains. The town's brewing tradition goes back to the merger of its brewers in 1582.

Entry is crisp and clean, with a balanced bitterness that builds without aggression. The mid-palate remains light and smooth-drinking, showing a delicate malty sweetness that never becomes cloying. The finish is dry and brisk, with a persistent noble hop bitterness that frames the palate cleanly.
