Velikonoční Kamenická 12°

Tap to rate

The green Easter beer of Kamenice, a Czech lager at 12° Stammwürze brewed from Pilsner, Munich and caramel malt and hopped with Žatecký poloraný červeňák and Premiant. Its green colour comes from nettle chlorophyll rather than from the malt, so underneath the green it is a twelve. It is brewed for Easter.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Velikonoční Kamenická 12°

◎ Appearance

Striking pale green hue derived from nettle chlorophyll rather than malt character, creating a distinctive visual identity while maintaining the underlying pale lager structure at 12° Plato. The beer presents good clarity with fine carbonation and forms a persistent white head with firm adherence to the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft Pilsner malt sweetness and gentle caramel notes from the specialty malts, supported by a clean, herbal character from the nettle infusion. Noble hops—Žatecký poloraný červeňák and Premiant—contribute modest spice and floral undertones without aggression, while the overall profile remains fresh and balanced.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced malty sweetness and bready depth, building mid-palate caramel character that frames the moderate 22 IBU bitterness. A crisp, clean finish emerges from the noble hop selection and fine carbonation, while the herbal quality from nettle provides subtle complexity without dominating the malt-driven profile.

◑ Finish

The finish is smooth and moderately short, with the malt and caramel gradually receding as a gentle herbal note and light hop bitterness linger. The overall impression remains clean and refreshing, characteristic of well-executed Czech lager craftsmanship.
