Speciály z Prazdroje: Hodovní

◎ Aussehen

A clear, semi-dark amber pour with a deep golden-brown hue characteristic of the style. The head forms quickly and settles to a thin, persistent collar with moderate lacing along the glass. Carbonation is steady and fine, creating a gently animated surface.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with caramel and toasted malt sweetness, grounded by earthy, herbal Sládek and Žatecký poloraný červeňák hop character. Soft spice and mild noble hop florality emerge with time, creating an inviting, balanced bouquet with no sharp edges.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and malty, with prominent caramel and bread crust flavors from the Pilsner and Bavarian malt foundation. Mid-palate develops a rich, full body with subtle bittering from the Edelhopfen varieties that never overpowers the malt sweetness. Finish carries a measured hop bitterness and clean, dry astringency.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste is clean and moderately long, with the bitterness fading gracefully into a dry, slightly grainy warmth. A refreshing quality lingers without any harsh edges or excessive alcohol burn.
