Bottle from a friend. Many thanks Peter B. Amber color with medium off-white head. Aroma of yeast, caramel, hops. Taste, malt, caramel, hoppy notes in finish. Not bad, but little bit watery.

Bottled 500ml. -Courtesy of and shared with Marko (thanks!). Nice amber coloured, medium to big sized pale beige head, caramel and mild hops in the nose. Sweet malty, light caramel and mild spicy with hint bitter hoppy notes in the finish. Like Svijetlo also slightly watery but there’s enough time for improve.

Rerate (2016:)I’d kept the ratings from the best bottles I’ve tasted for the three main Servolo beers, not wanting to diss a brewery that dared enter a market that was heavily stagnating at that point. Tried them several times since and never, ever got near the same quality or it was a hit&miss thing with far more misses. Had the chance to rerate all in a blind tasting that included others. Now rerating. What’s fair is fair. Somewhat clear orange-amber body. Big maltiness in the aroma, light peach, light alcohol. Malty flavors, creamy, caramel-like, completely battered and ruined by buttery diacetyl and a disguesting, heavy yeasty meaty finish. Refermenting does nothing positive for these beers. 4/4/4/2/8. I’m averaging the score between these two now to be more fair than I should be... Rate (2014):Gain, Milić ftw! Anyway, poured a lovely hazy copper-a,ber body with an off white head that fell apart sooner than expected. Yeasty nose, showing, as expected, similar characteristics as the pale’s, light melon, yeastiness, some spice... oily. The taste is, however, slightly empty, some perfumely maltiness, a touch of caramel, light beet, ending in a light dry finish with a very very light herbal bitter hoppy touch. Not a bad beer as such, but it seems to me that the refermentation in the bottle just overattenuates the lager and isn’t the optimal treatment for it. But hey, this is a positive appearance on the Croatian market, so I won’t criticize it as much as I would otherwise I guess. 6/4/6/3/13
