15° F. L. Věk

Rodinný pivovar Rampušák
Czech Republic·Heller Bock
Tap to rate

A dense, full malt body built on generous Pilsner malt, with a refined bitterness from Žatec hops and a smooth, warming character. The bitterness is balanced rather than sharp, and the malt profile stays hefty. Brewed at 15° Plato as the brewery's strongest pale special, it is a festive beer and a nod to the Dobruška region and its brewing tradition.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for 15° F. L. Věk

◎ Appearance

Pale golden in color with excellent clarity and a bright, inviting sheen. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass in persistent, fine lacing that marks each sip. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a refined presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft Pilsner malt character—bread crust and light honey tones—backed by the restrained floral and herbal notes of Žatec hops. A subtle warming alcohol presence emerges without any harshness, giving the aroma depth and gentle complexity.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a full, dense malt body that delivers caramel sweetness and biscuit notes early on. Žatec hops bring a refined bitterness that feels balanced rather than aggressive, playing against the substantial malt foundation throughout the mid-palate. The finish dries gradually, allowing both the malt richness and hop character to linger.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and warming, with the malt sweetness and noble hop bitterness fading in gentle waves. A pleasant, lingering alcohol warmth rounds out the aftertaste without any sharp edges.

What is a Heller Bock?
