Ježibaba

◎ Appearance

Ježibaba presents a clear amber hue with a warm, honeyed glow characteristic of Czech lager tradition. The unfiltered nature allows subtle sediment presence without cloudiness, while a modest white head forms on the pour with gentle, persistent lacing down the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by the distinctive spice character of the Rubín hop—a forward, peppery note that sits above softer caramel and light bread undertones from the barley malts. The aroma remains clean and focused, with no yeast esters or oxidative notes; the unfiltered condition adds a gentle, natural quality without harshness.

◐ Taste

On the palate, Ježibaba shows full body and substance despite its moderate 5% ABV, with caramel sweetness balancing a firm but measured 29 IBU bitterness. The spicy hop character carries through the mid-palate alongside a clean, grainy maltiness that builds structure; bitterness arrives mid-sip and settles dryly without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and moderately long, with lingering bitterness from the pressed hops and a faint peppery edge that fades to a clean, refreshing baseline. No sticky sweetness remains; instead, a crisp, malty dryness invites another sip.
