Kacíř 11°

Tap to rate

Deep amber in colour, with a delicate caramel aroma, a pleasant bitterness and a full malt flavour: Kacíř is a semi-dark blended lager (řezaný) that the brewery mixes in-house from its traditional pale lager and a dark beer under the eye of the brewmaster. The name nods to the Hussites, who had a base in Turnov and were not afraid to stand apart; this beer, too, goes its own way.

Deep amber hue with a warm, burnished quality that catches light distinctly. The head forms with moderate density and retains well, building a fine lace against the glass. Clarity is good, with bright light transmission revealing the beer's rich colour and gentle carbonation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft caramel and toasted malt notes, underpinned by a gentle sweetness that suggests honey and light dark-fruit undertones. Noble hop character emerges as a refined background, offering an herbal restraint rather than aggression. No harsh alcohol or fusel notes intrude—the overall profile is clean and approachable.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full on the palate, with pronounced malty sweetness and caramel notes establishing the core. Mid-palate develops a pleasant, measured bitterness that does not dominate but rather frames the malt character. Finish is clean and crisp, with lingering malt depth and a drying hop bite that refreshes without astringency.
