Poutník speciál 14°

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with bright, clean clarity and a fine white head that displays excellent retention and lacing. The carbonation is crisp and well-integrated, creating a refined visual presence characteristic of a classically brewed lager. The unpasteurised character contributes to its luminous, living appearance.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with delicate Bavarian malt sweetness balanced by the subtle floral and herbal character of Žatec noble hops. A clean, grainy foundation supports gentle spicy and mineral notes from extended lagering, with no off-aromas or yeast-driven complexity. The twelve weeks of conditioning have refined the bouquet into a composed, harmonious whole.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with pronounced malt fullness and subtle caramel sweetness, transitioning into a smooth, well-balanced bitterness from noble hops. Mid-palate exhibits rich malt body with a gentle warming from the 6% ABV, while the 35 IBU delivers restrained, refined bitterness rather than aggressive hop bite. The finish remains dry and composed, with lingering malt and hop character in equilibrium.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is clean and moderately dry, with persistent malt and subtle hop bitterness fading gradually. A gentle warming sensation and refined mineral quality from extended lagering linger pleasantly without harshness.
