◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity, presenting the translucent character typical of an unfiltered Czech lager. A fine white head forms readily and clings to the glass with persistent lacing. Bright carbonation animates the body, creating a visibly active and inviting pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with herbal and grassy notes from the Premiant and Žatec semi-early red hops, lending an earthy, field-forward character. Subtle malt backbone emerges underneath, suggesting light grain sweetness without dominance. Clean fermentation from the Budvar yeast provides no fruity or phenolic distraction, allowing the hop and malt interplay to remain crisp and focused.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is clean and snappy, with a light malt foundation and an assertive but balanced bitterness. The mid-palate stays lean and crisp, with the Žatec hops delivering herbaceous bite without astringency. Bitterness builds steadily and lingers into the finish, creating a dry, quenching profile that rewards the palate with clarity rather than sweetness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and lingering, with hop bitterness persisting as a clean, slightly grassy aftertaste. Carbonation continues to provide lift and clarity, leaving no heavy residue.
