11° Světlý ležák

Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

A balanced, flavourful taste with a hoppy aroma, a velvety-soft bitterness and a rich head that invites the next sip. A longer lagering period rounds the beer out. Brewed at 11° original gravity with in-house malt, famous Saaz hops and spring water from the Jizera Mountains, using the same technology as a century ago. The brewery has long counted it among its proudest beers, and it has won a number of awards.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for 11° Světlý ležák

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright luminosity. The head forms dense and persistent, with fine Schaumkleiden that cling to the glass with each sip, inviting the drinker forward. Carbonation appears lively and well-integrated throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose is led by classic Saaz character—floral and gently spicy with herbaceous undertones. A soft, clean malt foundation emerges beneath, lending a whisper of bread crust and grain sweetness without heaviness. The overall bouquet is refined and balanced, with no sharp edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with a graceful hop bitterness that unfolds rather than strikes. The mid-palate reveals pleasant maltiness—bready and slightly sweet—that anchors the beer and prevents it from becoming austere. The finish transitions cleanly into a crisp, lingering noble-hop character that frames the aftertaste.

The aftertaste is clean and enduring, with a gentle hop bitterness that encourages the next sip. No harshness or astringency remains; instead, a quiet, malty warmth lingers pleasantly on the palate.
