Klášter Kvasnicový Světlý Ležák 12°

Brewed by Pivovar Klášter
Style: Bohemian Pilsener
Hradiště nad Jizerou, Czech Republic

on tap at vinarna hrozen, plzen, where it is the regular tap beer. i’ve tasted this a dozen times or so and the beer has varied greatly. from a fresh keg, it’s hazy golden with a lasting head, it has an apple peel and barnyard aroma, some tart bitterness and yeast bite and can be very refreshing. from a keg a couple of days old the yeast character becomes overpowering and there’s a nasty cider vinegar character. still, if i rate this in peak condition, it warrants a good score

This was my first beer of the day..after being drug about Plzen by Montelpogo. On draft at Vinarna Hrozen. The beer was poured and presented in flute glasses and was a lightly cloudy ruby. The head was fluffy and settled pretty fast. The barmaid was having a bit of a fit with the active tap and had to pour a third glass to help keep the foam down. This was a very round beer with a mellow bready yeastiness that balancd out the tart apple/pear ping that accompanied the intertwined touch of whole hop. This went down fast and helped us on our way thru the tour of the cities underground catacombs a half an hour later. We must have caught a well kept keg. I would not have jumped in this place if it were not for MP’s nod. Thanks Fil!!!!!!

Draught at Vinarna Hrozen in Plzen. Hazy bright gold colored body. Buttery yeast in the nose, with a big, sweet cream and butter aroma throughout. Flavor is similar: buttery but otherwise clean pilsner malt, a bit chewy but smooth… I think something may have been wrong, both glasses of ours tasted the same, but as least it was fresh tasting and the butter/yeast/diacetyl/whatever was not overwhelming.

Draught. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is yeast, mild earthyness as well as some diacetyl. Flavour is fruits, some yeast and hops. Aftertaste is mainly fruity and yeasty.
