Rebel Original Premium

Tap to rate

A pale lager with a full, bitter taste and a pronounced hop aroma that ends on a refreshing, slightly bitter finish. Fullness, a lively snap and a rich head mark it out. It ferments in open vats and matures cold in the brewery's lager cellars. In 2019 it took bronze at the European Beer Star, and it won first place at Žatecká Dočesná in 2014 and 2024.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a full, substantial mouthfeel and crisp entry. Bitterness unfolds progressively through the mid-palate, driven by assertive hop character balanced against a smooth, malty backbone. The beer displays a lively snap that prevents any heaviness, maintaining cleanliness and definition throughout.
