Primator Weizenbier

Bij het openen ruik je de witbier geur, is dat koriander? Geen idee hoe je die geur moet omschrijven


 Na het eerste proeven begin ik de fles te walsen, en daarna ziet het bier er anders uit, zoals hieronder te zien:

Het bier is in mijn subjectieve beleving naar mijn onbetekenende mening lekkerder dan ongewalst. Het smaakt echt als weizen, lekker romig. Al zou ik het denk ik niet nog eens kopen...Het bier heeft een klein zuurtje dat ik niet zo kan waarderen.

Wat vind ik er over op internet?

Top-fermented pale unfiltered wheat beer with a specific aroma, taste and appearance.
Our Weizenbier is characterized by its pleasant clove-like aroma typical of this type of beer and its strong intense flavor of zesty wheat with hints of banana dominating. It has a strong lively taste and medium body with the characteristic mild bitterness of Saaz hops. It is a high foamy unfiltered light yellow beer whose cloudiness is caused by yeast and a high protein content. It goes especially well with steaks and meats such as roasted duck or pork. It is also lovely with meatballs, sausages, seafood and soft cheeses such as mozzarella. The beer itself should be very carefully poured into a typically tall slim glass slightly closed at the top, which keeps the rich and dense foamy head. Swirl the remaining beer in the bottle before finishing it to maximize the yeasty cloudiness. It can be served with a slice of lemon at a temperature of 6 - 8°C. It perhaps ranks among festive beers which even women savour, thanks to its not overly-bitter taste. It is becoming a trend (www.primator.cz/en/our-beers/top-fermented/primator-weizenbier.html).

Curtis, Jun 17, 2015
A very, very good beer ! Poured a nice unfiltered pale yellow. Hazy, but no chunks or floaties. Aroma is banana, clove and a little citrus. Very light head dissipates quickly...... I didn't mind - more beer to enjoy and sooner! Mouth feel is excellent, carbonation is perfect. Taste is wonderful, rich, complex, citrus is light, some mild bread flavors. Nothing sharp or intense, just good balance that blends together very well. Hops are extremely light, more would throw it off. A wonderful beer. I so wish i had bought more of these at the store......(www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/707/14962/)
Het beste bier ter wereld is Primátor (van Nachod)
 "... Absoluut fantastische prestatie dat we nauwelijks nog in slagen om te herhalen, bovendien in de categorie van tarwe bieren, die overheerst boven alle Duitse brouwerijen. Het geeft ons een streling dat onze langdurige inspanning om de Tsjechische markt te verrijken voor niet-traditionele bieren is gebaseerd op een echte ambachtelijke brouwerij ... ", aldus Josef succes Hlavatý, directeur van de brouwerij Primator.
     "... ... Verleidelijke geur, smaak en volheid fantastisch ... schoon, verfrissend ... goed uitgebalanceerde zoetheid en bitterheid met een lange aromatische afdronk ..." dit zijn slechts snippets van de officiële evaluatie Weizenbier van Nachod door professionele proevers (www.pratelepiva.cz/svet-piva/novinky-a-tiskove-zpravy/nejlepsi-pivo-na-svete-je-primator-z-nachoda/).

Primator Weizenbier, czyli (nie)najlepsze piwo na świecie
Best Bier van de wereld in 2013 wordt beschouwd, of zelfs een van de belangrijkste bier competities in de wereld. Deze volksraadpleging is vrij complex en enigszins ingewikkeld. De weg die we moeten gegevens bier reizen naar de overwinning is een beetje ingewikkeld, dus er is geen noodzaak om te gaan op dat. In het kort uit, zodat de beste positie won goud in de categorie: beste witbier, Hefeweizen beste, de beste Hefeweizen in Europa. Dit alles uiteindelijk om te worden aangekondigd beste bier van de wereld. Tenminste iets als het eruit moet zien, maar weet niet of hij bestaat niet in de war. Overall, Primator Weizenbier is een zeer populaire en gemakkelijk toegankelijk bier.
...
Samengevat, Primator Weizenbier is een zeer goede vertegenwoordiger van de stijl die het vertegenwoordigt. Het smaakprofiel is perfect in elk aspect, en waarschijnlijk beter dan veel van haar Duitse concurrenten. Maar volgens mij is dit te weinig om ze te verkondigen het beste bier ter wereld. Vanaf hier kunt u tien andere opties die de tarwe in vele opzichten overtreffen vervangen. Trouwens, in de categorie weizenów ook wat lekkerder voorstellen (https://smakpiwa.wordpress.com/2013/

Primátor Weizenbier 5% - Cseh búzasör
Típus: Cseh sör, világos, búza
Saját tapasztalat: Cseh búzasört még soha sem ittam, ezért nagyon kíváncsi voltam, milyen lesz. Valahogy a cseh sörök ízvilágában nem tudtam elképzelni azt, amiben a németek elég nagyok.
Az üveget kibontás előtt körbeforgattam, és láttam, hogy azon a felén, amelyen a hűtőben feküdt, leült az anyag, ez jó előjel!
Kitöltve jó sötét, zavaros folyadékkal találkoztam, olyan, mint mondjuk a Görögországban kóstolt Schneider Weisse 24. Illata búzasörös volt.
Íze hasonlított a német búzákhoz, azzal a különbséggel, hogy valamennyire átjött a cseh sörökre jellemő jellegzetes ízvilág, amely így összekeveredve egészen különleges elegyet alkotott.
Határozottan nem volt rossz, viszont íze nem volt annyira tiszta, volt egy pici fura utóíze, de azonosítani nem tudtam, mitől. Összetevői alapján minden rendben van.
Összességében finom sör a Primator Búza, 8 pontot ér nálam (http://sortesztek.blogspot.nl/2012/01/primator-buzasor-weizenbier.html).

Primátor Weizenbier
Cervejaria Pivovar Náchod a.s.
Primator Weizenbier has intense flavour, the zesty wheat adding a hint of banana and a delicious clove-like aroma typical for this type of beer. It is full-flavoured, medium-bodied with the classic mild bitterness character of the Saaz hop. The rounded fruit characteristics are the result of the blend of upper brewer’s yeast and wheat malt. It is easily recognisable at first sight…. unfiltered, highly yeasty, straw coloured beer with an appealing cloudiness caused by yeastand protein. This beer is a real thirst-quencher (www.brejas.com.br/cerveja/republica-tcheca/primator-weizenbier).

PRIMATOR WEIZEN ABV: 5.0%
Style: Hefeweizen
Color: Pale Gold
Taste: Pours a hazy gold/orange color with a nose full of fresh German Wheat. Light to medium body and carbonation. This is what a German style wheat beer should be, bubble gum, banana and clove balanced delightfully.
Brewery: Pivovar Nachod’s
(http://nw-sb.com/?page_id=710)
187130th June – Head of the town council´s proposal for a local brewery was approved.
1872The cornerstone was set on 8th April. Work on the building progressed and cellars began to be vaulted on 4th May.
Production started in the second half of the year as planned. The construction of the brewery was closely watched by nearly the whole town and many people went for walks to Montace to check progress at the site.
1873         The first batch of beer in the new brewery began to be brewed on 3rd October by Antonín Lutz. In October, 17 batches were brewed in total, of which ten were10° and seven 11° beer.
In November, there were 31 batches of 10° beer. In the brewery´s first period (roughly until the late 19th century), mainly 10° and 11° beer was brewed. Stronger beers (12° and 13°) were rarely brewed – usually before Christmas and Easter.
1925The popularity of Náchod beer increased, and operation was extended from 1925 – 1930 and a new brewhouse was built.
(www.primator.cz/en/brewery/history.html)
1935The trademark Náchodský Primátor ( Lord Mayor) started to be used in the former Náchod Municipal Brewery (in connection with the production of dark beer) - the predecessor of the current trademark PRIMÁTOR®.
1948It was only in the years following World War II that large investments were made – the bottling lines for bottled beer, refrigeration equipment, expansion of the malt-house, and the introduction of steam piping for brewing and malt drying.
1972Reconstruction of the brewery began - a new bottling plant, reconstruction of the lager cellar, installation of new cooling equipment.
1984Brew-house reconstruction began.
1992The Brewery was restituted to the town of Náchod.
(www.primator.cz/en/brewery/history.html?showall=&start=1)
2009The brewery was sold to LIF Group, Inc. Liberec.
2012In April, the product portfolio was expanded with a new brand - HRON ®, which is made according to original historical recipes from the period of the First Czechoslovak Republic. HRON ® pale lager is brewed especially for customers who demand a more bitter beer than the classic ´twelve´. (www.primator.cz/en/brewery/history.html?showall=&start=2) De brouwerij is hier (virtueel) te zien.

The Master Brewer of Náchod Brewery, Miroslav Šmejda, graduated in Fermentation Technology from The Institute of Chemical Technology in Prague.
Under his leadership, the brewery offers the broadest portfolio of beers in the country - a total of 15 kinds. Our best-selling beers are lagers and specialty beers, and also the top fermented beers - Weizenbier, Pale Ale and Stout.
He uses his skills in brewing specialty beers and can even brew the strongest Czech specials 21% pale and 24% dark.
The culturing of four kinds of yeasts for bottom fermentation as well as top fermentation is his area of expertise.
Miroslav Šmejda is the only Czech Master Brewer capable of brewing Czech lagers, English Ale, Bavarian Weizenbier and Irish Stout (www.primator.cz/en/brewery/our-master-brewer.html).



De reclame is eens niet standaard seksistisch:


Náchod is a town in the Czech Republic, in the Hradec Králové Region. Náchod lies in the valley of the river Metuje, in northern parts of the upland Podorlická pahorkatina. The town has a castle, and a brewery which until 2009 was owned by the town itself.
Náchod was founded in the 14th century by knight Hron of Načeradice, who founded a castle on a strategical place, where local trade road reaches the defile called Branka. The first written note dates back to 1254.
Until 1918, Náchod was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), head of the district with the same name, one of the 94 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Bohemia.
...
Náchod town has a brewery built in 1872, which sells a range of beers under the Primátor brand name. The town authorities agreed in February 2009 to sell the brewery for €5.3m to Liberec Investment Fund (LIF), the owners of Svijany and Rohozec breweries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%A1chod#N.C3.A1chod_Brewery).
(zie ook Beer: The Ultimate World Tour door Bill Yenne; p. 80)

Nachod city authorities have decided to sell 100% of the municipal brewery to Liberec Investment Fund (LIF), the owner of the Svijanyand Rohozec breweries. The company offered CZK 150m (€5.3m) and, despite this not being the highest bid, the offer was accepted due to the company’s compliance with all of the requirements originally stipulated by Nachod city authorities, including five year’s experience in beer production, a commitment to keeping the Primator brand on the market for at least five years (with a failure to do so subject to a penalty of CZK 50m or €1.8m) and the agreement to leave one place on the management board to be filled by a representative of the city hall.
The two other bidders were Czech businessman Pavel Bojanovsky and the Holba brewery. Their offers were declined due to failure to comply with all requirements. The highest bid, CZK 185m (€6.5m), was lodged by the Holba brewery from Hanusovice, however, the company was unable to demonstrate its ability to pay this sum. Moreover, Holba’s capital does not exceed that of the Nachod brewery, which was also one of the conditions of sale. Other companies participating in the tender were Russian Tradition, K Brewery and Stein (www.ceeretail.com/news/69377/nachod-brewery-finally-sold).


Liberec Investment Fund (LIF)
Het bedrijf dat drie Tsjechische brouwerijen bezit, hoewel de omvang van de actie is de productie van bier. Het omvat brouwerijen (http://beeroteka.pl/browar/116/liberec-investment-fund):
Pivovar Nachod
In de stad van Nachod brouwerij werd opgericht in 1872. De eerste Warka werden een jaar later verkocht. Sinds 1935 produceerde hij een lijn van bieren waarvan bekend is, ofPrimator. In de jaren 1991-2006 de brouwerij onderging een complete renovatie met de vervanging van oude apparatuur. In februari 2009, het stadsbestuur Nachod brouwerij verkocht voor een prijs van 5,3 miljoen euro.
Maly Pivovar Rohozec
Brouwerij gelegen in het dorp bewoond door slechts 250 inwoners. Bekend voor het produceren bieren, zoalsRohozec of Skalák.
Pivovar Svijany
Een van de oudste Tsjechische brouwerij opgericht in 1564 in Svijany. Het is bekend uit ongepasteuriseerde bieren, die herhaaldelijk erkenning gekregen in internationale wedstrijden. In de groep van LIF brouwerij zich sinds 2010 (http://beeroteka.pl/browar/116/liberec-investment-fund).

Svijany is a village in Liberec District, Czech Republic.  Svijany Brewery is based in the village....Svijany Brewery was founded in 1564. It produces a range of pale lagers from Svijany Fitness 6° (3.2% abv), to Svijany Baron 15° (6.5% abv). The brewery is owned by Liberec Investment Fund (LIF), who also own Náchod and Rohozec breweries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svijany).

In Nachod, a 700-year-old Czech town on the Polish border, Primator Brewery kegs waited to be loaded on containers bound for Kazakhstan while export manager Lenka Krausova fielded queries from as far away as Vietnam.
Five years after the municipality sold Primator to privately held Liberec Investment Fund, the beermaker is trying to make up for stagnant domestic sales by going beyond traditional European markets to build on export sales that have already quadrupled in the past decade.
“There’s been enormous interest from markets we’ve previously never heard from,” said Krausova. “We see a huge potential in those new countries.”
As the summer season begins to sizzle, Czech brewers like SABMiller Plc’s Plzensky Prazdroj AS, the maker of Pilsner Urquell, Primator, Budejovicky Budvar NP and Molson Coors Brewing Co.’s Pivovary Staropramen AS, are lining up against other international brands to win over drinkers in former Soviet republics to the east and Asia. Czech beermakers are betting they have an edge with campaign ads that tout European Union-protected Czech Beer and props such as 49-foot-tall wooden goats made by the maker of Pilsner Urquell that resemble Trojan Horses.
The success in finding a foothold in more-exotic destinations will depend on how well they address unfamiliar regulations, different drinking habits and low incomes among new consumers, said Amin Alkhatib, a London-based analyst at Euromonitor (www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-06-25/urquell-primator-go-east-with-czech-beer-giant-goats).

At Primator, founded in 1872 in Nachod, best known as the birthplace Josef Skvorecky, the Czech dissident writer and associate of Vaclav Havel who wrote World War II novel Engineer of the Human Soul, Krausova is touting the company as a small-time producer that avoids mass-production techniques. The brewer won the top prize at the World’s Best Beers Awards in 2013 with its Weizen beer (www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-06-25/urquell-primator-go-east-with-czech-beer-giant-goats).

Czech beers have a chance to reach sustainable growth in Asia, the Pacific region and South America by using the “Czech Beer” geographical indication label approved by the EU in 2008 as an advertising advantage, said Vladimir Balach, the head of the Czech Beer and Malt Association. Geographical indications protect product labels such as Champagne, feta and Parma ham from being used by producers outside the indicated region.
Carrying the Czech Beer label requires the use of specific types of Czech-grown barley and hops that give the domestic brew its characteristic bitterness, aroma and drinkability, Balach said.
“It’s the quality and distinctive flavor that rules global markets now and the traditional Czech lagers have them both,” Prazdroj marketing director Grant McKenzie said in an interview in Prague (www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-06-25/urquell-primator-go-east-with-czech-beer-giant-goats).
