Tadeáš 14°

Tap to rate

A special pale beer with a marked, noble hop bitterness from four Czech varieties: Agnus, Premiant, Bohemie and Žatecký poloraný červeňák. It lagers for a long time in the historic cellar of the Dalešice brewery. The name honours Tadeáš Hájek z Hájku (1525–1600), whose treatise on beer is regarded as the first publication on beer issued in Bohemia.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by noble Czech hop varieties—Agnus, Premiant, Bohemie, and Žatecký poloraný červeňák—which express elegant herbal and slightly spicy notes. A soft malt foundation supports the hops without overshadowing them, while extended lagering has integrated the aromatics into a cohesive, harmonious profile. The overall impression is refined and restrained rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a smooth, slightly sweet malt character that provides body and balance. The four-variety hop blend delivers a marked, clean bitterness that builds through the mid-palate without harshness, supported by subtle herbal and mineral notes. Underneath lies a faint caramel undertone and gentle alcohol warmth that rounds the finish without excess.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and drying, with the noble hop bitterness lingering pleasantly without becoming astringent. A gentle warmth from the 5.7% ABV fades smoothly, leaving a mineral-edged aftertaste that invites another sip.
