Characteristics of Czech type beer.Peer-reviewed article

J. CUŘÍN

The special type of beer being called as the Czech type of beer at present originated before 100 years in the Czech territory. The sensorial characteristics of the beer are as follows, the absence of fruit, esters and perfume components of aroma and taste and a high foaming intensity. This beer has a lowed degree of attenuation, therefore a lower ethanol content and an intoxicating effect, as well. Therefore, this type of beer has an inviting effect for further drinking. On the other hand, after larger drinking its negative effect is smaller then with other beer types. This is reason of its great favour by domestic and foreign consumers.
