Výroční 14°

Tap to rate

Výroční is a light-golden, full-bodied special with a faintly citrusy hop aroma and a pleasant bitterness. The citrus nuance comes from Kazbek hops, paired with Premiant, and whole-cone hops go in at the end of the boil and into the cold hopping at the end of lagering. Pilsner-type and Bavarian malt add colour and fullness. This unfiltered, unpasteurised 14° joins the range every year in the second half of November.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a clean, citrus-forward character derived from Kazbek hops—bright lime and subtle grapefruit notes. A soft malt sweetness underlies the aromatics, grounded by the herbal, slightly spicy contribution of Premiant. Whole-cone additions and cold hopping provide a fresh, resinous lift without aggressive assertiveness.

◐ Taste

The palate is full and rounded, with a malty foundation that speaks to the beer's 14° gravity. Citrus flavors emerge mid-palate alongside subtle caramel undertones, while a pleasant, measured bitterness develops steadily—the 38 IBU creates balance rather than dominance. The finish remains smooth and clean, with lingering hop character that doesn't overstay.
