Sv. Martinská 12

◎ Appearance

Deep golden to opal hue, brilliant and transparent in the glass. A tight, persistent white head forms and clings to the glass walls with fine lacing as carbonation slowly escapes. The body presents as full and substantial, a hallmark of its 12° original gravity.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a distinctive peppery character—green pepper from Malabar coast additions sits prominently alongside traditional Czech noble hops. Beneath the spice lies a soft, grainy malt foundation with light hoppy-spicy notes that evoke both herbal and slightly piquant qualities.

◐ Taste

The palate enters full and malty, developing a bready, cereal-like richness across the mid-palate. The pepper character intensifies on the tongue, adding a piquant edge that builds into a notably bitter, spicy-hop finish. Despite the assertive bitterness, the 5% ABV maintains balance and crispness.

◑ Finish

A lingering peppery-bitter aftertaste persists, carried by the interplay of green pepper and elevated IBU. The finish remains clean and dry, with the spice gradually receding to reveal a subtle noble-hop character.
