Bottle from Pivoljub, Ljubljana. Shared with lovely Anja in the summer of 2017. Lightly hoppy - orange. Toasty malts and light metallic aromas. Light bitter and aromatic. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation, bitter finish. Could be more hoppy, unclean too.

Sample draft @ Mali Grad Taproom. Dorée, col blanc crémeux. Arôme au nez bien fruité, tropical et fleuri avec un nez moyen malté carapils, pâle, tropical sur un côté de papaye et pamplemousse. Palais est léger avec une bonne alternance entre la base malt qui semble être ils et pâle et un houblonné bien tropical avec un aspect C-hops. Aurora comme souvent chez Mali Grad assure la base noble et amer. Petite touche de pêche, mandarine, effervescence un peu plus haute et petite sécheresse de fin de bouche. Pour en avoir déguster un certains nombre au festival et à la brasserie, le tout est bien exécutée offrant assez de variante niveau houblons.

On tap at the Medulin fest. Full yellow body with a big white head. Herbal aroma with distinct tropical notes to boot. Smooth taste mixing tropical fruit with the malty backbone and a very light herbal touch and some dry graininess. It’s definitely a tasty, enjoyable beer. Great job!

0.25l on tap @ Sir William’s pub, Ljubljana. Pours slightly hazy golden with small creamy white head and low visible carbonation. Aroma is weak, some citrus, peach and faint tropical fruits detected with mild malty note. Taste is light sweet malty and fruity, mouthfeel is empty, while bitterness is almost non existing. Light body, slick texture and soft carbonation in palate. Bottled version is much better than draft. Bitterness is more pronounced, carbonation is pretty lively, body is not so weak and in general tasty. However, still overpriced and overrated...

On tap. Pours a slightly hazy golden color, topped with a medium white head, rocky and slowly settling. Fair lacing. Very nice fruity aroma, citruses, sweet peach, exotic fruits and more. All blending nicely into one with nothing standing out, really. Supported by some mild biscuity malt notes. Taste starts and finishes with very solid hoppy bitterness, fruity character. Background is formed by caramel notes, growing more present but not bothering with the dominant hoppy character. Lasting and mild aftertaste. Fairly light, extra drinkable and perfect session beer.
