Tap to rate

Distinctly hop-bitter and fresh in character, this pale draught lager is hopped with Saaz Shine, a Žatec hop variety. Its name, Osmička, simply means the eight, after its gravity of 8°. It comes from the film brewery of Postřižiny in Dalešice, where the beers are made without filtering or pasteurising.

◌ Aroma

Saaz Shine hops dominate the nose with a distinct herbal and slightly spicy character, supported by a subtle floral complexity. Underlying malt sweetness is restrained, allowing the noble-hop profile to remain in sharp focus. No yeast esters or off-aromas present; the unfined, unpasteurized nature adds a clean, fresh dimension.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and hoppy, with Saaz Shine delivering assertive bitterness balanced against a lean malt base. Mid-palate sustains the bitter hop bite while maintaining refreshing clarity; malt sweetness remains modest and supports rather than dominates. The 22 IBU integrate seamlessly, creating a dry, satisfying conclusion on the palate.
