Platan 10

Tap to rate

Traditional yeasts give this light Czech výčepní lager a fuller flavour, gentle bitterness and a crisp snap. Behind it stands a brewery that claims a Central European first: a propagation station for multiplying its own yeast, and the house strain is still grown there today. Brewed by double decoction with water from the brewery's own wells and hops from the Žatec region.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Platan 10

Platan 10 presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright translucence. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing that marks each sip. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, creating a gentle mousse rather than aggressive bubbling.

◌ Aroma

The nose is delicate and restrained, revealing soft Žatec hop character with herbaceous and slightly spicy notes. Beneath lies a gentle malt backbone—biscuity and slightly grainy—while the house yeast strain contributes a clean, neutral fermentation profile with just a whisper of white bread. The overall impression is refined and balanced, without aggressive aromatics.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and light, with a malty sweetness that unfolds smoothly across the palate. The mid-palate carries grain-forward character and a gentle noble hop bitterness that feels integrated rather than assertive. The body remains svelte yet satisfying, finishing with a dry snap that leaves the mouth clean and quenched.
