Poutník světlý výčepní

Tap to rate

A delicate malt aroma meets a pleasant hop note; on the palate the beer is medium-full with a surprisingly gentle zing and the agreeable bitterness of Žatec hops, light and fresh. It is decoction-brewed, left unpasteurised and made with water from the Křemešník hill. Two bronze medals, from 2018 and 2024, are on its record.

Medium-full bodied yet remarkably smooth on entry, with a clean malt base providing subtle sweetness. Žatec hop bitterness arrives with restraint, building gently across the mid-palate to a pleasant, lingering bite. The finish is dry and crisp, leaving an agreeable herbal edge without astringency.
