Rogendorf 10

◎ Appearance

Rogendorf 10 presents a pale golden hue with subtle amber undertones, characteristic of its 8 SRM specification. The beer displays haze from its unfiltered and unpasteurised nature, creating a cloudiness that catches light warmly. The head forms with modest retention and leaves a delicate lacing pattern on the glass as it recedes.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by the herbal and spicy character of Žatecký poloraný červeňák hops, delivering classic noble-hop aromatics with soft floral and slightly peppery notes. Beneath this sits a clean malt foundation with gentle bready undertones, while the yeast remains restrained—contributing only subtle fruity whispers typical of bottom fermentation. The overall impression is crisp and inviting without aggressive sharpness.

◐ Taste

The palate enters smooth and well-rounded, with the malt providing a light biscuity sweetness that frames the beer's delicate structure. Noble hops deliver restrained bitterness (25 IBU) and a dry, mineral finish that prevents any cloying sensation. The mid-palate remains clean and crisp, with good balance between malt and hop character allowing the beer's refreshing character to shine.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length and gently drying, with lingering noble-hop spice fading into a clean, slightly mineral aftertaste. The low ABV and restrained IBU ensure the conclusion remains refreshing rather than warming or harsh.
