Starobrno Medium

Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

A light 11° lager that is just crisp enough, lightly hopped and topped with a rich head. The traditional recipe uses the best Moravian malt, pure spring water and Žatec hops. The brewery calls it a jewel of the house, meant for special occasions such as a garden barbecue with friends or a picnic on Kraví hora hill.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Starobrno Medium

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright transparency typical of the style. A rich, persistent head forms immediately and clings to the glass with fine lacing as the beer is consumed. Carbonation is lively but restrained, creating a refined visual presence.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and light, with the malt providing a delicate, slightly sweet grain backbone that never becomes cloying. Mid-palate develops a moderate, well-integrated bitterness from the noble hops, maintaining clarity throughout. The finish is dry and clean, with no harsh edges or astringency.
