Podzimní ležák

Tap to rate

Plum is the theme of this autumn lager, yet it stays understated: a subtle plum note rather than a fruit bomb. It comes from the U Medvídků microbrewery in the old malthouse, where onsite brewing was revived on 17 November 2004.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Podzimní ležák

◎ Appearance

A pale amber hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. Carbonation is evident but restrained, appropriate to the lager's smooth character. The overall impression is inviting and clean, with a luminous quality that suggests the beer's refreshing nature.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with subtle dark fruit notes—ripe plum and a hint of stone fruit—that remain delicate rather than assertive. Beneath the fruit lies a clean malt backbone with soft, grainy undertones. Noble hop character is restrained, providing gentle herbal balance without dominating the bouquet.

◐ Taste

The palate is smooth and approachable, with the plum character integrated naturally into a well-rounded malt sweetness. Entry is soft and slightly sweet; the mid-palate develops a refined malt body with hints of dark fruit and biscuit. Bitterness is minimal (12 IBU), allowing the fruit and malt to shine without harsh edges, creating a balanced, quaffable profile.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately short, with the plum note fading gracefully into a dry, slightly grainy aftertaste. A gentle sweetness lingers briefly before the beer becomes refreshingly crisp.
