Hubertus Jantar

Tap to rate

A pleasant bitterness and the aroma of Satu Mare hops meet a greater fullness, and a higher dose of hops makes the bitterness more pronounced. Jantar is a filtered lager with a darker colour, built on a combination of Pilsner and Bavarian malt and hopped with three varieties. It is a special rather than one of the brewery's regular lagers.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hubertus Jantar

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to chestnut brown, achieved through a blend of Pilsner and Bavarian malts. The beer presents good clarity with a persistent, fine-grained head that clings to the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, supporting a clean visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with noble hop character, particularly from Satu Mare hops, delivering a refined herbal and slightly spicy impression. Supporting this are rounded malt notes—bread crust and gentle caramel undertones. The overall aromatic profile is restrained and elegant rather than assertive, allowing both malt and hop components to coexist without dominance.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and smooth, with pronounced bitterness arriving early and sustained throughout the mid-palate. The three-hop blend creates a layered, persistent bitterness (22 IBU registers notably), while the malt foundation—Pilsner and Bavarian varieties—provides a clean, slightly sweet counterpoint. The palate remains crisp and clean without sharp edges, balancing hop character against malt structure.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with hop bitterness extending into a clean, refreshing aftertaste. Noble hop notes persist gently, while malt sweetness fades, leaving a characterful, dry conclusion.
