Jarní jedenáctka

Tap to rate

Jarní jedenáctka has a refreshing character with tropical-fruit tones from El Dorado, the only hop used in the kettle, plus a cold-hopping boost from another American hop at the end of lagering. It is light in colour and finishes with a pleasantly fading bitterness. Barley malt and a single mash go into this bottom-fermented 11°, a spring release as its name says.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced tropical stone fruit—ripe mango and papaya notes from El Dorado hop character—layered over a clean, understated malted grain base. A subtle herbal quality emerges in the background, intensified by the cold-hopping addition during lagering, creating a refreshing, mineral-like quality.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry, with light malt sweetness providing a delicate platform. The mid-palate develops the tropical hop profile more fully—orange zest and passionfruit—while maintaining a lean, refreshing character. Bitterness emerges gradually and fades smoothly rather than asserting itself, leaving a pleasantly dry finish without harshness.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is clean and gently fading, with a lingering perception of herbal bitterness that dissipates rather than grips. No residual sweetness or heavy notes remain.
