Novopacká 11

◎ Appearance

Novopacká 11 presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright translucence. The head is white and compact, with good retention and fine Schaumhaftung down the glass. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, lending visual liveliness to the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft malt character—grainy and faintly bready—underpinned by a delicate noble-hop spice. There is no aggressive aromatic intensity; instead, a refined restraint allows subtle grain sweetness and herbal notes to emerge gently. The overall impression is clean and balanced, with no yeast-derived esters.

◐ Taste

The palate is dry and crisp, opening with moderate malt sweetness that transitions smoothly into a clean, grain-forward mid-palate. Bitterness is measured and restrained (22 IBU), arriving as a gentle noble-hop character rather than assertive bite. The beer drinks smooth and refreshing, with a light body that never feels thin or stripped.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium, with a dry noble-hop bitterness fading cleanly into a faint malty residue. No harsh or rough edges remain; the aftertaste is refreshing and invites the next sip.
