Svatomartinský Speciál

◎ Appearance

Deep golden amber with a warm, honeyed tone that evokes roasted goose skin. The beer presents a slight haze from its unfiltered, unpasteurised state, lending natural presence to the glass. A dense, creamy head forms and clings persistently to the sides, showing good carbonation and lacing.

◌ Aroma

The Harmonie hop variety dominates with pronounced herbal and resinous notes, backed by a gentle leafy bitterness. Beneath the hop intensity, warm Malz character emerges—toasted grain and subtle caramel sweetness that grounds the composition. A faint spice note and clean fermentation character complete the profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with substantial malt sweetness before the Harmonie hops assert a firm, lingering bitterness (52 IBU) that dominates the mid-palate. The full body carries resinous, slightly piney flavours alongside a restrained boozy warmth from the 5.3% ABV. The finish remains crisp and clean, with hop bitterness persisting dryly into the aftertaste.

◑ Finish

Bitterness holds steadily through the finish, neither fading quickly nor becoming harsh. A light warming sensation and clean, refreshing dryness linger, inviting another sip.
