Svatý Norbert Jantar 13° (Polotmavé)
Bottom fermentation, medium full and medium bitter whole malt beer.
Vienna lager and Bavarian Märzen were the inspiration for its composition.
The color is closer to Märzen and the bitterness closer to Vienna lager. Märzen,
Czech March beer, used to be cooked in March, which is still rather cold. Nowadays we have mechanical cooling and, therefore, we cook amber all year round.

Bottle from the brewery - big thanks to Di! It pours lightly hazy copper with a medium off-white head. The aroma is toasty grain, cereal, hearty bread, earthy, wood and light spice. The taste is dry, bitter, toasty grain, cereal, brown bread, bit of spice, bio of alcohol and leather with some tannin with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Not bad.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear, amber colored. AROMA- a bit sweet, touch of berries, toasted malts, bready tones. FLAVOR- neutral, bitter, toasted malts, toasted bread, nuts, woody tones. Medium bodied.
Good.
500 ml bottle as "Sv. Norbert Amber Lager 13°" via trade with Aseclja and Rotin. Thank you!
Looks: Translucent amber honey colour with small nobs of dirt-like yeast sediments. Gusher Alert! Explosive five finger head with crumpety off-white foam which lasts for 4 minutes; Excellent good sticky lacing with fizzy carbonation.
Aroma: Fragrant Amber malt, with strong caramel, sticky toffee, red fruits, tartness, floral, molasses, spices, wood, fresh bread and light grass.
Taste: Close to medium sweet fair Amber malt, with honey, sweet caramel, toffee, red fruits, floral, molasses, spices, strong herbs, thick bread, lemon, strong bitter hops and strong grass.
Body: Medium body. Quiet thick and very slick palate.
Mouth Feel: Good Amber maltyness in a very solid and smooth background. Good dose of honey with pleasantly sweet caramel, toffee and pronounced red fruits. Flowery with medium sweetness, Very herbal grassy, spicy and bready with lemon to round. Very hoppy and nice!
Hoppiness: Floral, spices, wood, and light grass in nose. Strong herbs, floral, spices, lemon and strong grass in taste; Bitterness is quite strong for a lasting, mid to high astringent sweet-bitter Amber malty finish.
After Taste: Quite dry. Caramel grassy and bitter to mouth.
Comments: Unlike the Falkenštejn Ostroff 12°, this one's malt isn't as thick or doughty, but with a much stronger and vibrant Amberness in honey and sweet caramel. It's also has a much stronger herbal grassy hoppiness than I expected. A pleasant surprise!
caramel, bread, cereal, floral, golden, amber, medium sweetness, medium bitterness, average carbonation, full body, bitter,
Again, very little aroma. Light grassy taste with a somewhat hoppy and dry finish.
Donker oranje troebel bier met romige off-white schuimkraag. Sterke moutgeur en -smaak, caramel, toffee. Mooi in balans, relatief laag in koolzuur. Geen al te grote fan van moutige bieren maar dit is toch wel een topper in zijn genre.
Draft. Inviting hazy gold pour with slight bubbly head. Refreshing opening with an oily base, slight stickiness. Some caramel malts, brown sugar. Smooth lager finish. I didn’t find it to be anything special, but certainly solid.

On tap @Monasterio Strahov Praga. Dorada de abundante espuma blanca. Aroma malteado con alguna nota frutal. En boca tiene un paso muy muy fácil, de gran cremosidad y suavidad. Malteada y bien equilibrada entre dulce y buen punto de amargor. Deliciosa.

Bottle split out side P-Arch with thanks to Harrisoni, 11/03/17.
Golden amber with a decent egg shell white head.
Nose is brown bread, biscuit malts, cereals, light berry fruit.
Taste comprises toasted grains, fruit loaf, malts, biscuit crumble, light wood, dusty notes, some backseat toffee action.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, moderately drying close.
This seems to be the Rolls Royce of the Polotmavy style from the few I’ve experienced !.
On tap, @Klášterní Pivovar Strahov, Praga. Viaje 03/2017
Color amarillo, corona de espuma blanca, sabor maltoso alguna nota especiada y herbal, cuerpo medio.

Bottle shared in Bermondsey / huge thanks to Ian for this rare scoop! Pours clear honey-gold with a creamy, white head. Toasted biscuits in the nose, understated caramel notes. Light-medium sweet flavour with more hearty, bready biscuits, faint orangey notes, hay. Light bodied, smooth, with fine carbonation. Creamy finish, light grassy hop, more lightly toasted biscuits, bread. Great lager.
Bottle from a colleague at work. Hazy red brown amber lasting cream head. lager aroma. Sweet czech malt aroma. Smooth in mouth. Rather a good polotmavy touch of smoke. Really good lager. Love the balance.

Aromat ciężki, słodowy, ale nie jakiś bardzo odrzucający. Smak tak samo. Nie za wiele się dzieje. Jak na lagera pije się przyjemnie
From tap at Klášterní Pivovar Strahov with Gunnars ryk & reis 06.11.16. Hazy orange. Dense and persistent foamy beige head and lacing. Aroma of hops and malt. Very hoppy taste, with meadows, grass and a hint of citrus. Long and medium bitter aftertaste.
Tap @Klášterní Pivovar Strahov, Prague. Pours cloudy and amber, thick white head. Nose is vegetables, grass, malty. Taste is vegetables, bitter at first with a sweetening finish. This is my 77th style of beer, done it.
BOTTLE 50CL. Rotten fruity malts, light fruity sweetness, almost no bitterness. What the hell?
Tap at brewpub. Amber color, thick white head. Aroma of caramel malt, nuts, bittering hops. Tatse is easy drinkable, fresh, decent balanced
Amber, hazy. Aroma breadcrusr, toffee and hints of sulfur. Palate medium, low carbonation. Very malt-driven, medium sweer caramel, finish balanced. Ok, no big flaws on this one but nothing special really. Have had better lagers.
Piwo bursztynowe, klarowne. Piana średniopęcherzykowa, raczej trwała, redukuje się do pierścienia. Lepi szkło. W aromacie słodowe, chmiele, trochę ziół, lasu, owoców, minimum karmelu. W smaku wyraźna, średnia goryczka. W posmaku goryczka się zwiększa. Wysycenie średnie, ciało zaskakująco wysokie jak na lagera. To moja pierwsza przygoda z tym gatunkiem, zaskakujące wysokie ciało. Całkiem dobre Gdyby w Polsce browary restauracyjne zamiast marcowego robiło taką robotę.... ehhhh można pomarzyć.
