Bílá perla

Czech Republic·American Wheat Ale
Tap to rate

Fresh oranges, spice and citrus rise from the glass, joined by a floral note, and the taste is very delicate and refreshing. Sour malt, orange peel and wheat go into this brew, which meets gentle hopping with Perle, Amarillo, Citra and Czech Žatec hops. The brewers file it under New Broumy because it is no classic wheat ale, New England beer or Witbier; Honza Najbrt had the wheat-ale idea, Adam Matuška added sour malt and orange peel.

◌ Aroma

Fresh citrus and orange peel dominate the nose, lifted by a subtle floral character. The hop blend—Perle, Amarillo, Citra, and Czech Žatec—contributes gentle spice and additional citrus brightness without aggressive intensity. Beneath lies a soft, supporting wheat and malt foundation with a whisper of sourness from the sour malt component.

◐ Taste

The palate opens delicate and refreshing, with citrus and orange flavors taking the lead. Wheat malt provides a soft, slightly tart backbone that integrates seamlessly with the sour character, while gentle hopping maintains restraint rather than assertiveness. The finish remains clean and crisp, with the beer's 4.2% ABV allowing the subtle complexities to emerge without heaviness.
