Rychtář Grunt 11

Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Gentle bitterness, high drinkability and a head that builds well define this light lager. Fermentation in open vessels takes six to twelve days, depending on the beer, before the young beer moves into the lagering tanks. It is brewed the two-decoction way that Hlinsko has kept to since the brewery opened in 1913, with whole-cone Žatec hops.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with a gentle sweetness that carries the beer's drinkability. Mid-palate develops a balanced noble-hop bitterness (22 IBU) that integrates seamlessly rather than asserting itself. The two-decoction brewing method contributes a subtle depth and breadiness that lingers beneath the primary flavors.
