Votrok

Tap to rate

A pale lager with a thick, creamy head, medium fullness and a balanced bitterness. It is brewed with traditional Czech technology and matures cold in lager cellars, which gives it a rich taste. It is bottom-fermented. Votrok has its own line within the Rebel range; earlier lists called it Hradecký Votrok 11.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Votrok

◎ Appearance

Votrok presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, inviting transparency. A thick, creamy head forms readily and clings persistently to the glass, leaving distinct lacing as the beer is consumed. The carbonation is gentle and well-integrated, contributing to the beer's refined visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose reveals a restrained, elegant profile dominated by soft noble-hop character—herbaceous and slightly spicy without aggression. Beneath this lies a clean malt foundation with subtle bready notes and a whisper of grain sweetness. The overall impression is one of balance and restraint, free from any harsh fermentation byproducts.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and creamy, with a medium-bodied palate that feels fuller than the ABV suggests. Malt provides a gently sweet, grainy foundation with faint bread-crust notes, while noble hops introduce a measured bitterness (25 IBU) that arrives mid-palate without dominating. The finish transitions cleanly from malt to a crisp, slightly dry conclusion.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering noble-hop bitterness that fades gradually. No harsh edges or metallic notes remain; the aftertaste is pleasant and leaves the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.
