Kunhuta

Tap to rate

Full-flavoured and sweetish, a cut lager (řezaný ležák) that blends the dark Hradební with the light Záviš. The name goes to Kunhuta of Hungary, granddaughter of King Béla IV, second wife of Přemysl Otakar II and later wife of Záviš of Falkenštejna, known for her exceptional beauty and charm. Brewed from well water, barley malts and hop products, lagered in rock cellars, unpasteurised and microfiltered.

◐ Taste

The palate is full and sweet on entry, with soft malt character dominating the mid-palate. Moderate bitterness from the Edelhopfen provides structure without harshness, while the beer's smooth texture and clean finish prevent cloying sensation. A well-balanced composition of sweetness and restrained spice.
