Kutnohorská Lorecká 14

Tap to rate

A strong, pale festive special with a pronounced malty body, a crisp edge and a gentle, lingering hop bitterness. It is made to the original recipe and matures a full two months in the lager cellar of the Kutná Hora brewery. Pilsner, Munich and Carapils malts meet Premiant and Žatec hops. The brewery itself sits by Lorec, where Jiřík Lorecký of Elkuš bought the fortress in 1484.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, grainy malt sweetness from the Pilsner and Munich malts, accompanied by a gentle herbal and floral character from the Premiant and Žatec hops. A subtle caramel note emerges beneath, while the overall impression remains clean and balanced, with no aggressive alcohol burn despite the 5.7% ABV.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a substantial malty body that is neither cloying nor thin—the Carapils malt contributes a silky mouthfeel and gentle sweetness. A crisp, moderate bitterness from the noble hops arrives mid-palate and persists without dominating, creating a well-integrated framework that allows the malt character to shine. The finish is smooth and dry, with lingering hop bitterness that feels refined rather than sharp.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is long and gently lingering, with the hop bitterness gradually fading into a dry, grain-forward note. A subtle warmth from the alcohol remains present but never harsh, offering a dignified close to the drinking experience.
