PH 13 Sv. Patrick

Tap to rate

A strikingly green, naturally coloured 13° special lager with a gentle hoppy aroma and a malty-hoppy taste. Bitterness is medium to higher, the hop aroma underlined by a pleasant bitterness, and a medium-full body comes from pale malts and a lower degree of fermentation. It is brewed for St Patrick's Day on 17 March, with Kazbek in cold hopping and Sládek and ŽPČ in the boil.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a gentle but unmistakable hoppy character, led by floral and herbal notes from the Kazbek cold-hopping. Behind this sits a clean Malz foundation with subtle pale grain sweetness, allowing the hop profile to remain the focal point. A whisper of spice emerges as the beer warms, complementing the noble hop impression.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a medium-full malty body underscored by a brisk, medium-to-high bitterness that builds steadily through the mid-palate. Pale Malz delivers a clean, slightly sweet foundation without caramel heaviness, while the Sládek and ŽPČ boil additions layer in a pleasant hoppy-bitter complexity. The low attenuation preserves a touch of residual sweetness that balances the robust bitterness, creating a harmonious malty-hoppy interplay.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is clean and moderately long, with the bitterness gradually fading to reveal a subtle grain dryness. A gentle hop spice lingers softly without becoming harsh or overly resinous.
