Vrlo dobar Pale ale, čak pomalo vuče više IPA-u. Lijep miris, solidna gorčina.

So after trying this on tap when it looked and tasted like a complete mess a gave it a second shot from the bottle, 500 ml. Hazy orange, small fairly lasting frothy white head. Fruit, apricot, yeast, malty, sweetish, moderate+ carbonation. Medium bitter finish. Dry. Underlying slightly sourish note, wonder what's up with that. Medium bodied.

On tap at makro Beer fest in Maribor. Pours slightly hazy orange color, topped with thin white head. Gentle fruity aroma which is very pleasant. Solid bitterness with sparkly feeling. Light body. A very decent one.

On tap at Craft Room, Opatovina, Zagreb. Shared with lovely Anja. Hazy golden, small off-white head. Moderately to heavily hopped, grassy and leaves, honey and malts. Dry, hoppy. Light to medium body, medium carbonation, light dry finish. Good. Slightly offbalance.

Bottle, 0.5l. Cloudy copper pour with one finger creamy white head. Good retention, long lasting and leaving good lacing on the glass. Balanced nose, good malt character, some hops and herbal notes in the background. Medium body with slightly fizzy carbonation. Regular texture, a bit light. Moderately bitter taste with some malt sweetness at first. Aroma is medium malty, some caramel notes. A bit herbal, touch of honey. Hops in the aftertaste. Grassy, earthy, pepperty. Slightly sticky. Medium lasting finish, moderately bitter and a bit dry. Overall, good one. Nicely balanced brew.

On tap at Beeranje 17 Crikvenica. Golden coloured, small white head, slightly perfumed nose. Sweet malty, yeasty, orangey hoppy and rather low bitterness with pretty short finish. Some unpleasant touch also shows up. Will re-rate.

On tap at Stari Hrast during the Beerfest Sjever 3, Sep 2016. The beer was too young and will be rerated as soon as possible. Murky apricot body with a small white head. The aroma was obviously yeasty, but nice citric and caramel notes burst through. Light citric taste, slightly yeasty, almost no bitterness. Better than most beers I’ve had that were brewed at Kahli even at this stage, though obviously not too flashy. Again, this will be rerated ASAP. 6/3/6/34/13 Update: At least these last two months, this has finally become close to what it should be. A solid APA, not the best on the market, but likable enough. 7/3/7/3/13 Sheridan's, on tap, Oct 18. Clear golden-ambee body, light citric-herbal hoppy aroma, mild, lean but nice taste, citric, fruity (peach), a little herbal. Low bitterness. Flawless and well made, unexciting but drinkable, a very much solid APA in this shape and form.
