Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Kamenická 12

◎ Appearance

Bright golden hue with excellent transparency, though unfiltered and unpasteurised nature permits a light, natural haze that catches the light pleasantly. A stable, creamy white head forms and clings to the glass walls with fine lacing. Carbonation presents as moderate and even, creating a gentle, inviting visual presence typical of the Kellerbier style.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a clean, herbaceous character from Premiant and Žatecký poloraný červeňák hops, offering subtle spice and a touch of earthy minerality. Beneath lies a soft, breadlike Malz foundation from the three-malt grist, with faint grain notes and a whisper of fresh yeast activity. The overall impression is restrained and approachable, without aggressive florality or citrus.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and lightly malty, establishing a full-bodied yet refreshing palate that balances Malz sweetness with moderate hop bitterness (38 IBU). Mid-palate shows bready, slightly grainy character with a smooth drinking quality that never feels heavy. Bitterness builds gently toward the finish, remaining clean and integrated rather than aggressive, allowing the underlying Malz structure to remain the focal point.

The finish is medium in length, dry and slightly bitter with a lingering grain note that fades gracefully. A pleasant sense of refreshment persists, inviting another sip without any harsh aftertaste or clinging sweetness.
