Pilot

Czech Republic·Alcohol-Free Lager
Tap to rate

An alcohol-free beer with a faintly wort-like taste, balanced by an honest bitterness and a crisp finish. It has the traditional look, colour and head of a regular beer. Made with water from the brewery's own Jizera Mountains well, Saaz hops and in-house malt, and brewed by a shortened fermentation that keeps it alcohol-free.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with restrained but clean noble-hop character, revealing the signature spice and herbal notes of Saaz hops. Beneath lies a subtle malty foundation with faint bread-like undertones from the in-house grain. The bouquet remains crisp and dry, free of fermentation esters or adjunct contamination.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a light, bready malt sweetness that transitions into a distinctive honest bitterness characteristic of traditional Saaz noble hops. Mid-palate is lean and refreshing without astringency, allowing the hop bite to dominate the finish. The shortened fermentation process preserves a crisp, dry character throughout.
