Kamenická 13

◎ Appearance

Kamenická 13 presents a deep amber-garnet hue, sitting at the darker end of the amber spectrum. The unfiltered, unpasteurised nature yields a subtle cloudiness from suspended yeast and malt particles, creating a soft, diffuse appearance. The head forms with moderate density and exhibits good schaumhaftung, leaving fine lacing as the beer is consumed.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced malty depth—toasted grain and subtle caramel notes from the four-malt grist provide the foundation. Edelhopfen character emerges in the mid-range, introducing herbal and slightly spicy facets from Harmonie and Premiant varieties. A gentle yeasty undertone from bottom fermentation rounds the profile without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and vollmundig, with the malt complexity unfolding across the mid-palate—bread crust and biscuit flavours build steadily. The 30 IBU bitterness arrives with restraint and polish, integrating harmoniously rather than asserting dominance. The finish remains dry and crisp, with lingering hop bitterness and malt sweetness in balanced conversation.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste holds a moderate length with a gentle resinous hop character fading into residual malt sweetness. Clean and refreshing, without astringency or harsh edges.
