Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Zlatý Bažant 10°
◎ Appearance
Pale golden in color with excellent clarity and bright luminosity. A fine, white head forms quickly and maintains good adhesion to the glass walls. The carbonation is crisp and persistent, evident in the steady stream of fine bubbles.
◌ Aroma
A restrained but clean aromatic profile, led by subtle Žatec hop character with gentle herbal and spicy notes. Light, grainy Malz undertones provide a soft backdrop without overwhelming the nose. No yeast-derived esters or phenols intrude; the aroma remains straightforward and inviting.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with a light, clean sweetness balanced by moderate hop bitterness from the Žatec additions. The mid-palate is dry and mineral-driven, with faint citrus and bread-crust notes adding subtle complexity. Bitterness builds gently toward the finish without harshness, leaving a crisp, quenching sensation.
◑ Finish
The finish is short to medium, dry, and clean, with lingering hop bitterness fading quickly. A subtle mineral dryness persists, inviting the next sip.
