Ježek kvasnicový

Tap to rate

Ježek kvasnicový is the unfiltered, yeast-rich version of the pale lager (světlý ležák) from Jihlava, 4.9 %, made from water, barley malts, hops and brewer's yeast. For this beer the brewery skips filtration, so a significant share of yeast stays in it and the beer reaches the glass in its original form.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Ježek kvasnicový

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with pronounced haze from suspended yeast, creating a soft, cloudy appearance characteristic of the kellerbier style. The white head forms readily and clings to the glass with gentle persistence, leaving delicate lacing as the beer is consumed. Bright carbonation is evident throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by fresh yeast character—earthy and slightly sulfurous notes typical of an unfiltered lager with active yeast in suspension. Beneath this lies a clean, soft malt base with subtle breadiness and a whisper of noble hop spice. The overall impression is fresh and immediately approachable, without aggressive adjunct notes.

◐ Taste

The palate enters smooth and malty, with the yeast character carrying through to create a fuller, slightly textured mouthfeel than a filtered pale lager would offer. Moderate noble hop bitterness (25 IBU) sits in the background, providing gentle structure without harshness. The beer drinks refreshingly crisp despite its unfiltered nature, with a mild sweetness balancing the restrained bitterness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with the yeast contributing a soft, slightly grainy fade rather than a sharp cut-off. A gentle noble hop dryness lingers into the aftertaste, inviting another sip.
