Prometheus 12°

Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

A pleasantly spicy flavour with a gentle malt accent: Prometheus is a premium pale lager whose spicy character comes from the Kazbek hop, a hybrid of a wild hop from the foothills of Mount Kazbek and the classic Czech Sládek hop. Red Carared malt gives it an amber-golden colour. It is brewed by the three-mash method, and its name echoes the mythical Prometheus who brought fire to humankind.

◌ Aroma

The nose is led by distinctive spicy notes derived from the Kazbek hop, a hybrid variety that blends wild mountain character with the classical refinement of Czech Sládek. Beneath this spicy foundation lies a subtle malt sweetness with gentle bready undertones. Noble hop aromatics emerge softly in the background, adding complexity without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with crisp, spicy hop flavours that define the beer's character, complemented by a gentle malt backbone. The mid-palate reveals a well-balanced interplay between the Kazbek's peppery-spicy profile and the soft, malty sweetness. Bitterness arrives at moderate intensity with a clean, refreshing quality that does not overpower the underlying flavour complexity.
