Sedm kulí 13

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to light brown in color with a semi-translucent quality that hints at the beer's malt complexity. A modest off-white head forms with moderate retention, displaying steady lacing down the glass. Carbonation appears gentle and persistent, befitting the beer's 90-day lagering regimen.

◌ Aroma

Herbal notes dominate the nose, with a pronounced savor of the brewery's proprietary herbal granulate lending an almost medicinal quality. Underlying the botanicals sits a soft, grainy Malz character from the floor malthouse. A subtle citric snap from the Magnum and Premiant hops provides a restrained top note without overwhelming the composition.

◐ Taste

Entry reveals a bittersweet balance where herbal bitterness (28 IBU) weaves through malty sweetness without either dominating. Mid-palate unfolds with layered Malz notes—lightly caramel-touched—alongside spicy grain impressions and a persistent herbal thread. The bitterness lingers into the finish, never harsh, maintaining the beer's characteristic equilibrium.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and gently drying, with herbal notes persisting on the tongue and a subtle grainy dryness in the aftertaste. The beer leaves the palate clean without astringency, the 5.5% ABV ensuring the drink remains smooth throughout.
