Věžák

Tap to rate

A pronounced liveliness, a pleasant hop bitterness and a rich foam define Věžák, a pale výčepní that comes across clean, light and easy to drink. Its name nods to the Věžice pond (Věžický rybník), ringed by sandstone rocks and one of the scenic spots of the Bohemian Paradise. It is a long-standing fixture of the range, brewed in Malý Rohozec near Turnov.

◐ Taste

The palate opens clean and light, with a dry, direct entry that showcases the beer's hop bitterness from the outset. Mid-palate reveals a gentle malt backbone, balanced against a persistent but never harsh bitterness that sits around 25 IBU. The finish is smooth and refreshing, with the bitter character lingering pleasantly without astringency.
