Jarošovský Matúš 12%

◎ Appearance

Pale golden in color with a soft, luminous quality characteristic of the style. The unfiltered, unpasteurized character shows gentle haze and fine particulate matter in suspension. A delicate, persistent head forms with good retention and fine lacing that clings to the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a pronounced malt sweetness undercut by herbal, noble hop notes—a refined floral character that emerges after the initial malt impression. A subtle bread-like, grainy quality supports the composition, while the cool-hopping technique adds a crisp, slightly mineral edge without aggressiveness.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and malty, revealing the depth of the decoction mash and pale malt backbone, with gentle caramel sweetness. Mid-palate bitterness builds steadily, balancing the malt body without dominating—a clean, articulate bitterness that gradually refines into a lingering, fine bitterness clinging to the palate. The hop profile remains restrained, supporting rather than leading.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is long and refined, with the promised fine bitterness persisting gently on the palate. A dry, crisp sensation carries through without astringency, leaving behind the structural malt character and a faint noble-hop echo.
