Svijanský Rytíř Bitter

Brewed by Pivovar Svijany (LIF)
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Svijany, Czech Republic

0.5 L bottle bought at Tesco, Praha. Pure golden body with a medium, offwhite, lacing head on top. Crisp fruity and grassy hops up front, followed by a scent of soft, grainy malts. Slightly sweet malt body. Some fruit tones and prominent, grassy hop bittterness all the way through. Quite filling and slick in the mouth. Bitter, delicate malty-sweet ending. Good stuff.

Golden colour, thick medium head. Slight herbal aroma and a very distinctive taste, with herbal notes and very strong bitterness from start to end. Splendid.

Bottled. Straw yellow color with moderate carbonation and small bubbles. Decent white head. Nice aroma of crisp floral hops, pine, bready malts, hay and a hint of honey sweetness. Quite tasteful and maybe the most complex among that czech pilsners that i’ve had so far. The main mouthfeel is bready with sweet honey and moderate pine or citrusy hoppiness. The aftertaste is not as bitter as expected, but very delicate with resinous hops and pleasant malty sweetness. A must try beer for Czech pilsner fans! Enjoyable and unique!
