Primátor Medové

Tap to rate

Medové is a limited, bottom-fermented pale lager of 5.5 %, brewed from 13 degrees of original gravity with maple honey from the village of Rokytník u Hronova in the foothills of the Giant Mountains. The brewery gently warms the honey in the cellar and pumps it into the lagering tanks, where it dissolves over several months as the beer matures. Pilsner malt and the Czech hops Saaz, Rubín and Harmonie complete the recipe. Unfiltered and a deep amber-gold, it leads with a sweet honeyed note and grainy malt, followed by a spicy hop note and a moderate, slightly sharp bitterness that lingers.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with smooth honey and malt sweetness that carries through the mid-palate, balanced by a measured spicy hop bite and underlying herbal grassiness. A moderate, slightly sharp bitterness builds gradually and holds firm through the finish, providing structure without astringency.
