16° Ale

Tap to rate

A semi-dark top-fermented ale with an honest bitter base, gentle fruity notes and a faint caramel echo that blend harmoniously into one another. Brewed at 16° original gravity with carefully chosen American hops and malts of pronounced flavour, with the top fermentation running separately with special yeasts, and with spring water from the Jizera Mountains.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for 16° Ale

◎ Appearance

A semi-dark amber hue with good depth and translucency, characteristic of the 17 SRM specification. The head forms with moderate density and displays solid schaumhaftung along the glass walls. Carbonation is restrained and even, supporting a fine, persistent foam collar.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced American hop character—herbal and lightly citric—layered beneath warm, biscuity malt notes from the 16° gravity foundation. A gentle caramel sweetness and fruity undertones from the special yeast strain emerge in the background, creating a balanced and inviting top fermentation profile.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with honest bitterness (50 IBU) that anchors without dominating, followed by a malty mid-palate where biscuit and gentle caramel develop in tandem. The American hops deliver restrained citric and herbal qualities, while fruity esters add subtle complexity; the overall character is smooth-drinking and harmonious rather than aggressive.

◑ Finish

The finish is moderately dry, with lingering hop bitterness and a faint caramel echo that gradually fades. A pleasant, clean aftertaste confirms the careful water selection and yeast character.
