Únětický speciál Jarní Petrklíč 11°

Tap to rate

Light as a breeze yet full of flavour: the Shine hop brings a delicate herbal aroma with spicy and citrus facets, the Saturn hop adds notes of exotic woods or tropical fruit, and on the tongue the bitterness is balanced by a fullness that unfolds like a fresh spring meadow. Four malts, Pilsner, Munich, caramel and Carared, make up this semi-dark, unfiltered lager, offered only in April.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Únětický speciál Jarní Petrklíč 11°

◎ Appearance

A semi-dark amber hue with light copper undertones, characteristic of the four-malt bill. The unfiltered nature yields a gentle haze that catches the light, while a modest white head forms and holds with soft lacing around the glass as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The Shine hop leads with delicate herbal and green notes, layered with restrained citrus brightness. Saturn adds an exotic wooden spice and hints of tropical stone fruit that emerge as the beer warms. Beneath lies a gentle malty sweetness from the Munich and caramel malts, grounding the composition without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and lightly sweet, with the malts delivering caramel and soft Vienna characteristics across the mid-palate. The bitterness (45 IBU) arrives with restraint and herbal character, never sharp, while the full body and slight spiciness from the hops create a textured, layered drinking experience. The finish leaves an impression of a sun-warmed meadow—fresh, grassy, and inviting.

◑ Finish

Medium-length and clean, with lingering herbal bitterness and a whisper of citrus fade. The aftertaste is dry yet slightly sweet, encouraging another sip.
