Mazák 14 India Pale Ale

◎ Aussehen

Deep golden amber with a bright, translucent body and fine carbonation. The unfiltered character creates a subtle haze that catches light pleasantly. A dense, creamy head forms and clings to the glass with good retention, leaving delicate lacing on the walls.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by the cold-hop trio of Columbus, Chinook and Citra, releasing resinous pine, citrus zest, and herbal complexity. Beneath the hop intensity, caramel and toasted Pilsner malt provide a warm, slightly sweet base that anchors the aromatics without competing.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens full and velvety, with bold hop bitterness—the 50 IBU landing decisively on entry and mid-palate. The Pilsner and caramel malt backbone balances this assertiveness, lending a smooth, slightly sweet character with subtle toffee undertones that prevent the beer from becoming sharp or thin.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and dry, with the hop bitterness fading gradually into a lingering caramel sweetness that adds roundness and depth. Clean and crisp on the aftertaste, with no astringency despite the alcohol and IBU levels.
