Tlustý netopýr

Tap to rate

Rye malt gives this top-fermented special a very distinctive taste and texture: clean, full and deep. High bitterness leads, backed by a gentle malt sweetness and a pleasantly heady hop aroma, with no citrus-tropical perfume. Brewed at 17° and hopped with four mostly American varieties: Chinook, Cascade, Amarillo and Premiant.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Tlustý netopýr

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with visible lacing. Carbonation is brisk and well-integrated, supporting a tight foam collar that slowly recedes.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with resinous and piney American hops—Chinook and Cascade dominate—layered beneath a subtle spice character from the Premiant variety. Rye malt contributes a clean, slightly grainy backbone without heavy sweetness, and the overall character remains dry and herbal rather than fruity.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and bitter, with the four-hop blend asserting immediate bitterness that unfolds into a full, dry palate. Mid-palate develops a structured malt presence from the rye—clean and slightly mineral—balanced by Amarillo's delicate stone-fruit suggestion, while lingering hop bitterness prevents sweetness from gaining ground. The body is substantial and mouth-filling, with no flabbiness.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and hoppy, with a pleasant earthy-spice aftertaste that extends moderately long. No cloying sweetness intrudes; instead, a clean, slightly astringent fade leaves the palate refreshed.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
