Špilberk 10

Tap to rate

A Brno draught lager of 10° original gravity with a gently hoppy aroma and a malty-hoppy taste. Bitterness is medium and the colour golden; protein and polyphenols from malt and hops can make it hazy when strongly chilled. It was first brewed for a 2015 exhibition on Brno inns and breweries at Špilberk and has been brewed in the years since.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Špilberk 10

◎ Appearance

Špilberk 10 presents a bright golden hue characteristic of Czech pale lagers. The beer displays excellent clarity in normal serving conditions, though strong chilling can introduce fine haziness from malt proteins and polyphenols. A modest white head forms and recedes steadily, leaving delicate lacing along the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with gentle noble hop aromatics—herbal and slightly floral notes—backed by soft malt sweetness. There is no aggressive bitterness on the bouquet, instead a clean, understated profile that invites closer inspection. The overall impression is balanced and appetizing rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and malty, with grain-forward flavors grounded by low alcohol. The mid-palate sustains a pleasant hop-and-malt equilibrium; the bitterness is medium and integrated, finishing clean rather than harsh. Body is light and refreshing, built for drinkability rather than depth.
