Dudák 11

Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

A pale 11° lager whose balanced, medium bitterness comes with a higher crispness and a rich head. The brewery places it midway between its draught beer and its twelve-degree lager. It is not pasteurised but filtered twice microbiologically, and brewed from Czech hops and malts only. Served unfiltered, straight from the cold lagering cellar, the same beer is sold as Sklepák.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Dudák 11

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity, presenting a bright, inviting presentation. The head forms thick and persistent, clinging to the glass in a fine white collar that demonstrates strong lacing. Carbonation is lively and visible, with a continuous stream of fine bubbles rising through the clear body.

◌ Aroma

Clean and fresh on the nose, with prominent Czech noble hop character lending a refined herbal and slightly spicy quality. Beneath lies a soft malty foundation with hints of biscuit and grain, underscored by the mineral character of careful brewing. The overall impression is restrained and balanced, with no harsh or fermentation-driven notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and refreshing, with a clean malt sweetness that builds through the mid-palate before giving way to a medium, well-integrated bitterness. Bready and slightly grainy notes complement the noble hop bite, creating a balanced interplay without either element dominating. The mouthfeel is smooth and rounded, with good body for the 4.5% ABV.

The finish is clean and relatively dry, with the noble hop bitterness fading gracefully into a pleasant mineral dryness. The aftertaste lingers briefly with a subtle malty echo and gentle herbal notes.
