Matuška Dvanactka

◎ Appearance

Matuška Dvanactka presents a brilliant pale golden color with excellent clarity and fine carbonation that creates a persistent white head. The beer displays the characteristic brightness of a well-crafted Czech pale lager, with inviting visual appeal that promises crisp refreshment.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with classic Saaz hop character—delicate herbal and spicy notes with subtle floral undertones. Soft Bohemian malt provides a gentle bread-like foundation that complements the noble hops without overwhelming the palate, creating an understated and elegant aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and clean with balanced malt sweetness and grain character. Mid-palate reveals the signature spicy-herbal Saaz hop presence, while smooth malty notes of bread and cereal grains provide structure. The finish transitions into a pronounced dry bitterness that builds elegantly.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and decidedly dry with a persistent herbal-bitter character that exemplifies Czech pilsner tradition. Clean aftertaste with lingering noble hop spice makes this a supremely refreshing and drinkable lager.

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
