Budvar Redix

◎ Aussehen

Budvar Redix presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, translucent character typical of the style. The head forms quickly and retains well, leaving fine lacing on the glass as it settles. Carbonation is visible and lively, contributing to an inviting, refreshing presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced herbal and peppery notes from the Polaris hops, applied across four additions for layered complexity. A subtle bready maltiness underlies the hop character, grounding the profile without overwhelming the aromatic intensity. The overall impression is clean and crisp, with no yeast phenolics or off-notes.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and full-bodied for its 4% ABV, with the malt providing structure and a gentle sweetness. Mid-palate develops a pronounced hoppy bitterness with continued peppery spice character, building to a commanding bitter finish. The flavour is refreshing and well-balanced, with enough complexity to hold interest without astringency.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and dry, driven by a peppery, herbal aftertaste that lingers cleanly on the palate. Bitterness persists without harshness, leaving a refreshing, crisp drying sensation.
