Zlatopramen 11 dark is traditionally brewed from barley malts, hops and water. Owing to a specific combination of several sorts of barley malts and their processing, our beer obtains an individual and characteristic taste. The delicious bitterness and the pleasant hoppy aroma of our beer come from Bohemian hops, grown in traditional hop areas and in part in our own hop gardens. The caramel taste is brought in harmony with fine bitterness and mild sweetness. This is the reason of a rare experience on drinking. The combination of employed malts imparts a pleasant colour to the beer.
