◌ Aroma

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a crisp, dry attack where the noble hop bitterness asserts itself clearly without harshness. Mid-palate reveals layered hop resin and subtle herbal complexity, while the modest malt sweetness provides balance and structure. The finish drives toward dryness with a lingering, refined bitterness characteristic of traditional Czech lager fermentation.
