Altbier from Pivovar Římská represents an interpretation of the traditional German altbier, carefully adapted to Czech brewing sensibilities. This is a top-fermented beer, which sets it apart from most Czech lagers, offering a more complex aromatic profile.
With an alcohol content of around 4.4%, it is highly drinkable and suitable for longer gatherings, while a moderate bitterness of approximately 30 IBU provides balance between malty and hoppy tones. Visually, it stands out with a warm amber-copper color and a stable foam that adds to its appealing appearance.
The aroma is dominated by caramel and lightly toasted malt notes, complemented by subtle fruity hints derived from top fermentation. The taste is full yet refreshing, with a pronounced malty body and a finish that brings gentle bitterness and a clean impression.
Altbier pairs well with traditional Czech cuisine, especially meat dishes and a variety of roasted specialties.
