Rebel Chevron 12

Tap to rate

A premium 12° lager with a full body from Pilsner and Munich malt and a strongly hoppy, spicy aroma from double hopping with Žatec Semi-Early Red and Agnus hops. It is the most bitter bottom-fermented beer the brewery makes. Chevron is the inverted-V moustache that Karel Havlíček Borovský wore and that appears in the town's coat of arms.

Pale golden with excellent clarity and a bright, luminous quality. The head is dense and persistent, clinging to the glass in a fine lace pattern as the beer settles. Carbonation is lively, with a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

Assertively hoppy on the nose, with pronounced spice and herbal notes from the Žatec Semi-Early Red and Agnus hops. The malt foundation is clean and subtle, offering a light bready sweetness that frames the dominant hoppy character without overwhelming it. Noble hop complexity sits alongside peppery, resinous undertones.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a full, rounded body that carries noticeable Pilsner and Munich malt sweetness into the mid-palate. Bitterness builds steadily and asserts itself as the dominant note, supported by spicy-herbal hop flavors that linger across the tongue. The beer is crisp and clean, with a smooth mouthfeel that prevents harshness despite the robust IBU profile.
