Starobrno Staré Brno

Czech Republic·Czech Pale Lager
Tap to rate

An unpasteurised light draught beer (světlé výčepní) brewed with a two-decoction mash and bottom-fermented. The name recalls the old Brno settlement and its inn U modrého lva, a meeting place for locals. In 1872 the last owners of the monastery brewery built a modern brewery next door on Hlinky street.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Starobrno Staré Brno

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue with excellent transparency and bright clarity characteristic of an unpasteurised light lager. The head forms with moderate density and clings persistently to the glass, leaving fine lacework as the beer is consumed. Carbonation presents as fine and steady throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose is restrained and clean, with a subtle grainy maltiness at its foundation. Noble hop character emerges softly—a touch of herbal restraint without assertiveness. The two-decoction mash contributes a gentle, slightly toasted malt undertone that rounds the overall impression without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable, with a mellow malty body that carries through the mid-palate without heaviness. Bitterness remains measured at 23 IBU, providing balance rather than bite. The finish drinks crisply, with the grainy sweetness resolving into a dry, refreshing conclusion that invites another sip.

◑ Finish

Short to medium in length, with a clean, dry aftertaste that lingers just enough to cleanse the palate. The refreshing quality persists without any sharp edges or residual sweetness.
