Primátor 11 Ležák

Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Primátor 11 Ležák is an 11° pale Czech lager of 4.7 %, brewed from Pilsner malt and hopped using the Saaz and Sládek varieties. It pours a bright golden colour under a dense, creamy head and lively carbonation. The palate is full for its strength: soft, bready malt with a hint of cereal sweetness, followed by grassy, peppery hop notes and a distinct bitterness that stays on the tongue. Like the brewery's other lagers, it ferments in open vessels before cold maturation in the lager cellar.

◐ Taste

The palate strikes a balance between soft, bready malt sweetness and assertive hop bitterness that lingers on the tongue. Mid-palate development reveals cereal and grain complexity, while Saaz and Sládek hops deliver grassy and spicy flavors that build toward a clean, dry finish. Despite moderate strength, the beer tastes fuller and more substantial than its 4.7% ABV might suggest.
