Silný Ležák 17° is a continuation of our ongoing efforts to brew beers in the Czech tradition. This particular lager was inspired by our brewmaster's visit to Budvar Brewery in the Czech city of České Budějovice. Within its maze of lagering vessels, he tried a bolder and maltier version of the pale lagers he'd grown accustomed to and decided to craft one of his own for proper winter drinking. In accordance with Czech brewing philosophy, Godspeed's version was decocted and cold conditioned for 8 weeks. Czech floor malted pils and Saaz hops form an array of rich caramelized, bready malt notes and herbal, spice hop character. We hope it inspires you the way the style's progenitor inspired us.
We’ve never been that excited!
Na Zdraví!

Copper body, with chill haze, slowly forming a finger high off-white head, with a minute retention.
Sweet malts and dried fruit on the nose, some diacetyl.
Plenty of buttery diacetyl flavour, light caramel, touch of cola, dates, rye bread. All this sweetness is mediated by alcohol heat in the finish, leaving it medium dry. There's a whisper of spice from the hops. Light carbonation, medium-heavy body. Feel is soft and slightly syrupy.
The flavour is warming, and clean despite the sweetness (it's not cloying). Would have appreciated more carbonation to achieve greater balance. Not bad, not standout.
