0.5 l from Pivoljub, Ljubljana, Slovenia. Pale golden with very small off white head. Grainy, some hops, earthy. Quite balanced, light hoppy finish, but not very appetizing. Ok.

Brežice Beer Fest. Oooh man... to say that this looked like a yeast shot would be an insult to yeast shots everywhere. Incredible, opaque paaaaaaale brown body with a small white head. Ugh. The nose, however, saves the day (kinda) by offering a nice lemon rock candy character - not spectacular but welcome. The taste retains some of it, which is cool enough, but gives away some notes of beet too, quite watery. I WILL re-rate it in the future though. Rok seems to be a very cool, friendly guy and, like all other emerging micro brewers trying to experiments, deserves our support.

Bottle from HerrBierkoenig, many thanks Damian. Hazy orange golden color with thick persistent off white head. Aroma of oranges, tangerines, mango, papaya, malt. Taste, solid malty backbone followed by fruity hoppy touch with tangerines, mango, apricots, orange zest. Fruity finish with sour notes. Overall drinkable beer in hot summer weather.

A pleasant surprise in the mail. Not really the best beer I have tasted, but still an OK choice. Looks: golden and hazy with a medium off color head. The first impression - it will be a heavy and filling one. Aroma: basically hops, hops and hops, also slightly too much alcohol smell. Taste is pretty much neutral, although it appears slightly stale due to the lack of carbonation. Not really bitter, only slightly on the tongue. Slight bitter aftertaste.

Recent rating: On tap at Pivomanija Beer Fest in Ajdovscina. Hazy dark orange color with small off-white head and average visible carbonation. Aroma of lemon, grapefruit, pine and resin hops. Taste starts with rich light sweet malt, then follows sour fruity and grainy, while finish is mild spicy and heavy bitter. Medium to full body, oily texture and soft carbonation in palate. This beer got total makeover with Pacifica hops!
