Fresh Hop Czech Pale Lager, 10°, 3,8% ABV
Ten příběh znáte – jednou do roka se každý pivovar na dojezd od chmelnic může zbláznit z obrovských pytlů čerstvých chmelových hlávek, které si ještě před pár hodinami spokojeně visely na slunci. Letos jsme z čerstvě sklizeného chmele uvařili dvě piva vycházející z ležáků v naší základní řadě. Patronus je tradiční na jeden rmut vařená česká desítka, postavená na humnovém plzeňském sladu a 100% na chmelu Saaz Special, což je intenzivnější variace poloraného červeňáku. Jeho verze ze zeleného chmelu nabízí ještě výraznější květinově-dřevité aroma. Ta jedna várka ročně mizí až moc rychle.
You know the story – once a year, every brewery worth its salt gets all excited about those huge bags of fresh green hop cones that were happily hanging on the bine just a few hours ago in the nearby hop yard. This year we brewed two fresh hop beers based on our core-range lagers. Patronus is a traditional single-decocted Czech pale lager brewed with local floor-malted pilsner malt and 100% Saaz Special hops, which is a more intense version of traditional Saaz. Its fresh hop version is even more punchy, with a powerful floral, woody aroma. Put into the middle of a super-drinkable pale lager of 3,8% ABV and brewed only once a year, and it’ll be gone pretty soon.

Can shared in Kopenhagen Torvehallerne. Grass, green, fresh hop, green hop. Crunchable, fresh, crisp. This works lovely after a walk along the water, together with fish and bread and more fish.

Pale golden with a white head. Noble hops, spicy, light citrus, floral to round it out. Medium bodied. Finish is where the saaz spice gets really noticeable. Really digging this.
