Varaždin tasting. y. Hazy orange, with small off-white head. Fruity aroma with oranges, tangerine, herbal hops, zest. Taste starts malty with notes of caramel, following fruity notes with oranges, tangerines, apricots. Unfortunately not too much hoppy.

Can, Varaždin tasting, thx Hrabren! Hazy orange body, off-white head. Orange, herbal, smooth, bit caramelly aroma. Smooth taste, orange, peach, NZ herbal notes lower than expected, funky slightly. Not that Riwakaish (while being 100% Riwaka I guess), but quite fun!
