hopIQ found 10 beers that share Bernard Jantarová 12's caramel and bitter character. A distinct taste with balanced bitterness, a delicate caramel scent and a pleasant fullness. The amber lager is unpasteurised and follows the brewery's usual path: two mashes, four hop additions, then weeks of maturing in lager tanks, with water from Bernard's own wells and Czech hops for bitterness and aroma.
