Zelený král

Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

A pleasantly mild, fresh beer with a lightly bitter taste, instantly recognisable by its green colour. Brewed at 12° original gravity from a pale lager and a maceration of green plants: herbs from the meadows of the Jizera Mountains give it its edge, water from the brewery's own well its lightness. It is a seasonal beer announcing spring and St Patrick's Day.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Zelený král

A striking pale green hue dominates the visual profile, immediately distinctive and unmistakable.

Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a refined bead that sustains throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced herbal and green plant notes, drawing directly from the meadow botanicals of the Jizera Mountains. Beneath these sit soft noble-hop character and a subtle malty backbone, grounding the composition without dominating. A delicate freshness rises throughout, with faint bready undertones that add complexity.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with a pleasant interplay between crisp herbal bite and balanced malty sweetness. The mid-palate develops a light, clean bitterness (32 IBU) that complements rather than overwhelms, while the herbal character remains the dominant thread. The finish is dry and refreshing, with the botanical notes lingering gently without harshness.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is dry and brief, allowing the herbal and noble-hop character to fade cleanly. A refreshing, thirst-quenching quality persists, encouraging another sip.
