🌍 Czech Republic · Alcohol-Free Lager · One of 42 Alcohol-Free Lagers in hopIQ

Free Tchyně is the non-alcoholic version of Tchyně at 0.5 %. The alcohol is not removed after brewing: the brewery works with a special yeast strain that ferments the wort without producing it. Mashed by infusion from Pilsner, Munich and caramel malts and bittered with Czech Rubín, Harmonie and Vital, it is dry-hopped with Summit and Citra and stays unfiltered. Gold-copper with a dense head, it has more body than its strength suggests, with light caramel malt, citrus and tropical fruit aromas and a gentle bitterness at the end.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Primátor Free Tchyně

Appearance

Primátor Free Tchyně presents a luminous gold-copper hue with excellent clarity despite its unfiltered character. A dense, persistent head forms and clings to the glass with fine adhesion, demonstrating strong foam stability uncommon in alcohol-free beers. The fine carbonation creates an inviting visual presence that suggests more substance than the modest alcohol content delivers.

Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit character—mango and papaya notes—layered with bright citrus that likely derives from the dry-hop blend of Summit and Citra. Beneath this aromatic energy lies a subtle caramel-malt sweetness from the Munich and caramel malt foundation, creating an approachable, balanced profile without any off-notes typical of reduced-alcohol brewing.

Taste

The palate enters with full body and moderate sweetness, revealing soft caramel and malt character that anchors the beer despite low alcohol. Mid-palate develops the promised citrus and tropical notes, while the malt backbone prevents thinness. A gentle, measured bitterness emerges in the finish, deriving from the Czech Rubín, Harmonie, and Vital hops, providing closure without harshness.
