West Coast IPA
Back to reality!
Hops: Citra, Centennial, YCH303
Nakon zasluženog ljetnog odmora stiže nova west coast IPA – Reality check. Srednjeg tijela, blage sladnosti, izražene gorčine i srednje suhog završetka. U aromi i okusu prevladavaju crvena naranča, limeta, smola, borovina, bobičasto voće, a u pozadini blagi mango i ananas. Odlična za povratak u realnost!
VACATION WAS A LIE!

Can, 0.5l. Hazy copper pour, two finger frothy off-white head, long lasting, very good retention, sticky lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, herbal and grassy notes, citrus peel, light pine.
Medium body, medium carbonation, lively. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, soft, chewy, fizzy, refreshing. Bitter taste balanced with mild sweetness in the background. Aroma of herbs, grass, caramel malt, candy. Tropical fruits, citrus peel, pine. Light spice, floral. Honey notes in the aftertaste. Long lasting finish, slightly dry, lingering herbal bitterness.
Pretty good.

On tap at Valhalla, Zagreb. Hazy yellow, small off-white head. Moderately hoppy, very fresh hops, citrusy, grapefruit, hint of tropical fruit and malts. Flavour is moderately hoppy, citrusy, zesty, grapefruity, lightly herbal, malty. Drinkable, smooth, a bit juicy for a WCIPA, finishes dry with light bitterness. Drank from the can a week or so after with Marko, wasn't nearly as fresh.

Can shared with Hrabren. Bit hazy golden body, thick off-white head. Resinous heavy, minty aroma, heavy stone fruit. Sweetish minty taste, herbal, resinous, some oxidation. Huh, the can I had in Plzeň was a bit more straightforwardly resinous. Lower bitterness. Mehish, would be 7.4ish before, now less
