MadCat Ležák

Tap to rate

A classic Czech ležák with a full, bitter character. This pale lager is unfiltered and unpasteurised, hopped three times and brewed on a double decoction mash, a twelve-degree beer made from water, barley malt and hops. The new MadCat Ležák took first place at the Jarní cena českých sládků in 2018, the year MadCat began brewing as a brand.

Deep golden hue with a soft, hazy appearance from its unfiltered character. A dense, creamy head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Moderate carbonation sustains a gentle mousse throughout.

◌ Aroma

Noble hop character dominates the nose, with a crisp herbal and slightly resinous quality from the triple-hopping regimen. A clean malt foundation emerges beneath—grainy, slightly bready—with just a whisper of bread yeast. No adjuncts or off-notes interfere.

◐ Taste

Bitter, assertive entry carries the full-bodied promise of the Kellerbier style. The mid-palate balances dry hoppy spice with subtle malt sweetness and a light, brioche-like breadiness. Lingering bitterness frames the finish without harshness, clean and refreshing throughout.
