Jantarová 13

Vinohradský pivovar
Czech Republic·Czech Amber Lager
Tap to rate

Malty with a gentle caramel note: this amber, bottom-fermented special is brewed from Pilsner and caramel malts at 13 degrees. Žatecký poloraný červeňák brings the aroma, and the rougher Premiant adds backbone for a medium, balanced bitterness. The body is fuller than in the pale lagers, and the whole taste stays harmonious from start to finish.

Aroma
The nose leads with soft, honeyed malt tones from the Pilsner and caramel base, underpinned by gentle caramel sweetness. Žatecký poloraný hops contribute a restrained, slightly earthy and herbal character that remains in the background, allowing the grain forward character to dominate without any yeast-derived esters.

Deep golden amber hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass with steady retention. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, lending a soft effervescence that complements rather than dominates the pour.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a full, smooth malt body that delivers sustained caramel character through the mid-palate. Premiant hops emerge gradually to provide structural bitterness and a light spicy backbone, creating a medium, well-balanced profile that never becomes harsh or astringent. The finish remains clean and harmonious.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste lingers with dry malt and a gentle hop bite, fading cleanly without any cloying residue. A refreshing, moderately long finish invites the next sip.
