Rychtář Fojt

Tap to rate

A light Czech výčepní beer with a gentle bitterness, good lively carbonation and a head that builds well. After open fermentation it matures in the lagering cellar for up to thirty days, the span Hlinsko sets for its výčepní beers. Brewed with the two-decoction method that the Rychtář brewery, founded in 1913, still uses today.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Rychtář Fojt

◎ Appearance

A pale golden color with excellent clarity and bright visual presence. The head builds decisively and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Lively carbonation creates a steady stream of small bubbles that sustains the foam throughout drinking.

◌ Aroma

A clean, herbaceous nose dominated by gentle Saaz hop character and subtle noble hop spice. Soft malty undertones provide a light grain foundation without heaviness. The open fermentation contributes a crisp, neutral yeast presence that keeps the aroma fresh and inviting.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and refreshing with a light malty sweetness that balances restrained bitterness. Mid-palate remains clean and smooth-drinking, allowing the gentle hop bitterness to build gradually. The finish delivers a balanced, dry conclusion with lingering hop bite that never overwhelms.
