Svijanský fanda

◎ Appearance

Deep amber with a hazy, turbid character from the unfiltered blend of pale and dark malts. A modest off-white head forms and recedes quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the glass. The cloudiness dominates the visual profile, scattering light rather than transmitting it clearly.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with toasted and caramelized malt, backed by subtle dark-fruit esters—plum and raisin notes. Noble hop character is restrained, offering a soft herbal undertone rather than assertive spice. The unfiltered nature brings a grainy, yeasty backdrop that complements the malt-forward profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with caramel sweetness developing across the mid-palate without becoming cloying. Dark-fruit character—dried plum and fig—weaves through the malt base. Bitterness remains low and polished, allowing the malt and fruit to dominate; the 4.8% ABV keeps the body light and drinkable.

◑ Finish

The finish is gentle and relatively short, fading with residual malt sweetness and a whisper of herbal dryness. No sharp edges or harsh astringency remain.
