Primátor Tchyně

Tap to rate

Tchyně, Czech for mother-in-law, is an India Pale Lager of 4.7 % that the brewery presents as a cross between a Czech lager and an IPA. The wort is mashed by infusion and bittered with the newer domestic varieties Rubín, Harmonie and Vital, then dry-hopped in the cellar with Summit and Citra and left unfiltered. It pours a hazy gold-copper under a generous head; citrus zest, grapefruit and tropical fruit sit above a malt base with light caramel from Munich and caramel malts, and the finish is crisp and bitter.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Primátor Tchyně

◎ Appearance

Tchyně presents a hazy gold-copper pour beneath a generous, persistent head. The cloudiness stems from the unfiltered character, lending a soft, approachable visual presence. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, supporting fine lacing around the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus zest and grapefruit, layered over hints of tropical stone fruit. Beneath these hop-derived notes lies a gentle malt foundation—Munich and caramel malts contribute light, biscuity undertones without dominating the profile. The overall impression is fresh and inviting, balancing herbal noble-hop character with subtle sweetness.

◐ Taste

The palate enters clean and crisp, with citrus and tropical notes moving through the mid-mouth. The malt backbone—soft caramel sweetness from Munich and caramel malts—provides ballast without heaviness at 4.7% ABV. Bitterness builds steadily, driven by the dry-hop charge of Summit and Citra, finishing with a dry, hoppy edge that feels both bitter and refreshingly clean.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium, with lingering bitter and hoppy notes that fade gracefully. A mineral, dry quality persists in the mouth, leaving an impression of refinement without harshness.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
