Smells Like Green Spirit is a bold West Coast IPA brewed in collaboration with Slovenia’s Green Gold Brewing.
Paying tribute to West-Coast grunge icons Nirvana, this beer channels the raw energy of Smells Like Teen Spirit and the iconic spirit of Nevermind. Loaded with hops, it explodes with citrus, pine and floral aromas. It’s crisp, resinous and unapologetically loud—like a mosh pit of flavour in your mouth.

hazy golden with a creamy yellow head.
aroma is hops, tangerines, citrussy notes, bittersweet exotic fruits, quite a lot of malts and malt bitterness.
flavor is very hoppy with pine, grapefruit, alc. bitterness, a bit old hoppy flavors to the bitterness, so not super crisp and fresh. bitter oranges note. quite the brutal imperial ipa, a bit like a strong imperial ipa mixed with a bit of orange juice.

On tap at Cukrarna Ljubljana, shared with Hrabren. Darker golden coloured, medium sized off-white head, candy oranges in the nose. Sweet malty, caramel, light candy, notes of oranges and bit piney with discreet oxidation in the finish.

On tap at Kavarna Cukrarna, Ljubljana. Shared with Ogi. Unclear golden, small off-white head. Aroma is moderately hoppy, fruity, ripe stone fruit, caramel, earthy and herbal. Sweet cookie dough, ripe fruit, caramel and banana flavour. Not the freshest example of the style. Medium body. Light bitterness, finishes sweet.
