OPAT Benediktin

Tap to rate

OPAT Benediktin pours golden with a slight shimmer under a high, snow-white, dense and lasting head. The aroma is delicate and malty; the taste is led by a subdued bitterness and malt, with a slightly sweet aftertaste and carbonation between medium and low. It is an unfiltered pale lager, balanced, with a light haze and a full body. The Benedictines of Břevnov received the Broumov region in 1213.

◌ Aroma

The nose is notably delicate and malt-forward, with a soft grain sweetness that evokes fresh bread and cereal notes. Noble hop character emerges subtly in the background, offering a gentle herbal restraint without aggressive floral or citrus declarations. The overall impression is one of understated refinement, inviting rather than demanding attention.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a balanced interplay between malt sweetness and a subdued, refined bitterness (25 IBU) that never overwhelms. Mid-palate reveals a full, satisfying body with a slightly sweet character that carries through to the finish. The mouthfeel is smooth and gently creamy, with carbonation supporting but not dominating the sensation.
