Velvyslanec
A strong, bitter ale with a pronounced aroma, brewed after the traditional beer of the British East India Company. It is hopped only with the new Czech variety Most, which the brewery says has roots in American hop fields and Czech floodplain forests. Pale Ale and Carahell malts form the base; the brewery lists it as an unfiltered, unpasteurised IPA.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Velvyslanec
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.

What is a IPA?
IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
Finding a similar IPA
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same bitter, hoppy, malty character as Velvyslanec will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
