Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Master Polotmavý 13

◎ Appearance

A semi-dark amber hue with excellent clarity and a radiant glow to the liquid. The head forms a persistent, creamy off-white crown with good adhesion to the glass walls. Fine carbonation creates a gentle, continuous bead that maintains presence throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with rich, toasted malt notes that suggest bread crust and light caramel depth. Noble hop character emerges subtly, contributing a refined, herbal spice that complements rather than dominates. Clean fermentation character allows the malt foundation to express itself without any harsh or yeasty edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and malty, with caramel sweetness and a gentle toasted grain character developing across the mid-palate. Pleasant hop bitterness arrives with specificity—herbal and restrained at 22 IBU—balancing the malt sweetness without aggressive edge. The beer maintains smoothness throughout, with the 5.3% ABV allowing malt complexity to shine while delivering refreshing drinkability.
