Summer Ale
Summer Ale is a light-bodied pale ale with lemony citrus and grapefruit-peel notes and a bitter bite at the end. Beneath the hops it stays grainy and malty, which keeps it easy-going and soft. The brewery counts it as its most successful special: it came back on sale for summer, with the Sladovna restaurant in Cvikov to follow on tap.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Summer Ale
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
