OPAT 12° světlý ležák

Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

OPAT 12° is a traditional pale lager with a gentle bitterness and a full taste. The flavour is balanced, a light haze shows in the glass, and the beer drinks refreshingly. It is brewed the traditional way from drinking water, barley malt and processed hops. The 12° is the original gravity, not the alcohol content.

A pale golden hue with a light haze suspended throughout the glass, characteristic of traditional Czech lagering. The carbonation is gentle and persistent, creating a fine, delicate head with good retention and clean lacing down the sides of the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose presents a balanced interplay of noble hops and light grain sweetness. Subtle herbal and spicy notes emerge from the Saaz hops, while soft bread-like malt undertones provide a grounding base. The overall impression is clean and inviting, without aggressive floral or citrus character.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a malty sweetness that moves quickly into a gently assertive bitterness. The mid-palate carries a smooth, well-integrated character—neither heavy nor thin—with a crisp, dry quality that keeps the beer refreshing. The bitterness lingers without harshness, supported by understated noble-hop complexity.
