Starobrno Bitr

◎ Appearance

A bright golden hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation visible throughout. The head forms dense and persistent, with strong lacing that clings to the glass with each sip. The beer presents with a vibrant, luminous quality typical of well-crafted pale lagers.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by a pronounced hop presence, with herbal and resinous notes from the Czech hop varieties, particularly the Žatecký poloraný červeňák. Beneath this lies a clean, crisp character with subtle malty undertones that support without overwhelming. The dry-hopping adds a pronounced aromatic freshness that evolves as the beer warms.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a clean, refreshing entry and immediate hop-forward bitterness that builds through the mid-palate, reaching 35 IBU of dry, resinous intensity. The malt provides a restrained but present foundation, allowing the Czech hops to define the profile without turning astringent. The bitterness is well-integrated, finishing dry without harshness.

◑ Finish

A lingering dry-hopped aftertaste persists, with herbal and resinous notes gradually fading to a clean, refreshing conclusion. The finish is crisp and inviting, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.
