American Lager 4.7 º 30 IBU

Pivovar Vik
SQBRU [skjuːbru]

This Vienna Lager presents a quintessential amber profile, balancing clean drinkability with elegant malt depth. A base of quality Vienna malt provides a distinctive bready-rich foundation, accented by the subtle caramel and toasted grain notes highlighted by the brewer. The aroma is invitingly malty with a faint floral whisper from traditional continental hops. On the palate, the initial softness transitions into a smooth, medium-bodied experience where the malt complexity remains front and center. A firm but unobtrusive bitterness ensures a clean, dry finish and a crisp aftertaste, perfectly capturing the refreshing yet sophisticated character of a classic European amber lager.

Appearance. Light reddish amber to polished copper in color (11-14 SRM). Displays brilliant clarity and is topped by a large, persistent, off-white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a focus on rich, bready malt and elegant toasty accents. Very low floral and spicy hop notes are present in the background. The fermentation profile is clean and characteristically lager-like, lacking esters or diacetyl.

Taste. The initial impression is defined by a soft malt complexity, featuring bready and lightly toasted flavors with a hint of caramel. A firm enough hop bitterness balances the malt sweetness to prevent it from being cloying. Low floral and herbal hop flavors are detectable. The finish is fairly dry and smooth, with a balanced aftertaste of rich malt and a touch of hop bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with a gentle creaminess and smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate. There is no detectable alcohol warmth or astringency.
