◎ Appearance

Reddish-amber hue with bright clarity, revealing the brewer's commitment to natural, unfiltered presentation. A creamy white head forms readily and clings to the glass with deliberate persistence. Moderate carbonation is visible as a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the body.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with malty sweetness providing body and warmth. The mid-palate reveals the Žatec hops' elegant character—noble, slightly grassy notes—while the malt backbone remains prominent without heaviness. Bitterness is gentle at 22 IBU, finishing clean without astringency.
