◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced noble-hop character from Sládek, delivering a crisp herbal and slightly spicy quality. Beneath the hops lies a clean, grainy malt foundation with a light bready undertone. The overall impression is refreshing and balanced, with no yeasty or off-note distractions.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a snappy bitter bite that builds through the mid-palate, driven by the Sládek hop's pronounced bitterness. The malt backbone remains understated but present, offering a light bready sweetness that balances the 31 IBUs without cloyingness. The finish is dry and clean, with lasting bitter hop notes.

Serve at 4–7°C

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass

The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.

Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
