Kanec 10 Chmelený

◎ Aussehen

Kanec 10 Chmelený presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation visible throughout the glass. The head forms white and persistent, with good lacing that clings to the glass as you drink. The beer displays the pale, luminous character typical of well-crafted Czech pale lagers.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by noble Czech hop character—floral, herbal notes from the Sládek and Žatecký poloraný červeňák varieties emerge with clarity. Beneath the hops sits a clean, understated malt foundation from the Pilsner and Munich malts, contributing a subtle grain sweetness. The four-time hopping schedule has preserved a refined, balanced hop bouquet despite the beer's higher bitterness.

◐ Geschmack

Entry brings a crisp, bitter bite that builds through the mid-palate—the four hop additions have layered in a complex, persistent bitterness that stays well-integrated. The malt provides a soft, slightly sweet counterbalance of Pilsner and Munich character, but remains restrained, allowing the hop complexity to lead. The finish dries steadily as the bitterness extends, leaving the palate clean and refreshed.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste lingers with a dry, herbaceous bitterness and a whisper of floral hop resin. The finish is clean and refreshing, inviting another sip without heaviness.
