Velryba, A Czech pale lager brewed in collaboration with our friends at The Whale Craft Beer Collective. The Whale crew are tireless champions of independent beer in the Southeast and, more importantly, dear friends.
Built on a base of Tchecomalt floor-malted Pilsner malt and shaped by a traditional double decoction, this 11° lager carries a supple malt depth beneath a clean, luminous finish. Hopped with a particularly joyful and expressive lot of Saaz we selected, grown in Tirschitz, Czech Republic.The result is bright and precise: punchy citrus up front, soft chamomile florals through the middle, and a gentle pear note drifting into a crisp, mineral close.

Canned 12/22/25, drunk 2/27/26.
Clean enough with light white bread and some dried herb. A lot of Barrique's lagers are not overly aromatic. But at least it's clean enough, though I get a touch of celery-like character on the finish.
Fares a bit better in the mouth, with mostly clean flavors, though the malt isn't all that supple/fluffy/honey-rich. More just a flat white breadiness. Some more of that vegetal/celery-like character on the end. Dry enough and certainly drinkable with lots to like, but maybe not quite top tier. Seems like it needs just a bit more lagering.
