Svatý Norbert Jantar 13°

Brewed by Klásterní Pivovar Strahov
Style: Vienna
Prague, Czech Republic

(Draught at Klasterni Pivovar Strahov, Prague, 20 July 2008) Dark amber colour, slightly hazy, with frothy, beige head. Fruity, slightly citric nose with notes of dried apricots, yeast and Seville orange. Malty, fruity, slightly citric taste with toffee, chocolate and a bittersweet finish. Very nice beer sampled in very nice surroundings.

Tap @ Klásterní Pivovar Strahov, Prague.
Pours muddy, dark amber with a big, lightly creamy, white head. Aroma is malty, good caramel, weak grass and hay. Medium carbonation, great creaminess. Flavour is marred by the tiniest amount of cardboard, otherwise, it’s great. Caramel backbone with super dry hoppiness, grass and light fruitiness. Ends with a long, lingering caramel note. Good.

From tap at Strahov Monastary Prague ... Hazy red orange ... light hop nose ... mellow fruity ... some blood orange ... little tart ... very pleasent

From tap at brewpub. Pours hazy/unclear deep orange with a slowly collapsing, creamy and off-white. Solid breadish and spiced aroma. Flavour is sweet breadish with a nice hoppy spice touch. Quite nice flavour. Ends dry and bitter with a nice spice note.

Lovely reddish hazy beer with a fine fluffy head. A bit sweet, fruity, dry finish, lots of aromatic hops packed in. Easy drinking, yet with a nice nutty flavour. Good beer!

Draught@brewpub. Hazy orange opaque colour with big beige bubbly head. Aroma is quite yeasty and malty. Flavour is yeast, malts, some hops and mild notes of wood. Also some diacetyl. Nothing very special.

Draught @ the brewpub. Lovely average beige creamy head that mostly lasted. Somewhat cloudy amber color. Nice display of lacework. This was surprisingly hoppy with mild notes of dusty hops, hint of citrus, and in general I got this floral experience. Over the palate came lovely nutty, caramel, yeast and light grainy feel. Again this was a unique experience and I really enjoyed the scenario and the live music coming from the monastery nearby. Medium bodied with an average carbonation and dry smooth dusty texture. Moderated bitter and sweet flavor in a well balanced way. Dry floral bitter fresh and crispy finish. Ohhh yes I will have one more please.

Labeled "amber" at the brewery. Unfiltered orange/amber appearance to the body, with a small tan head on top. First flavor is chewy toffee malt, some sweet caramel as well, with the nose being quite similar but having some small notes of diacetyl, along with a strange but mild burnt nut scent.
