Svijanský Rytíř

◎ Aussehen

A pale golden hue dominates the glass, with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that builds confidently on the pour. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a steady stream of fine bubbles that sustains the collar's definition throughout the tasting.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a pronounced hoppy character—herbal and grassy notes from the dry hopping create an unmistakable entry point. Beneath sits a refined malt foundation: soft caramel and floor-malted Pilsner grain offer subtle sweetness and breadth, while a clean fermentation allows these elements to speak without obstruction.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with sharp, hoppy bitterness that defines the profile from the first mouthful—a bold statement for the Czech premium lager category. Mid-palate brings caramel and malty richness from the Bavarian grain, which balances rather than overcome the hop edge. The finish remains crisp and dry, with bitterness lingering cleanly without harshness.

◑ Abgang

A sustained, clean aftertaste holds the hoppy and malty character through the exit. The dryness and refreshing quality leave the palate ready for the next sip.
