On tap at Hop In, Kanal, Zagreb. Murky amber brownish color, small off-white head. Herbal hops, fruity, light yeasty. Light body, medium carbonation. Light hoppy, toasty, kind of sweet, no hop character. Watery with a very light finish. Off style, but a nice try for a new brewery.

On tap at BeerYard Festival, Zagreb. It poured a hazy lighter copper body with a small head. Yeasty aroma, baker’s yeast. Flavor was lightly bitter papery dry with a moderate caramel malt presence, also fruity and yeasty. Medium bodied with moderately long, dryer finish. Didn’t know it was meant to be an ESB, but it makes more sense now. Okay for the style, although still, reading the commercial description, it should have shown more hops.

On tap at the BeerYard festival. Actually amber, reddish in body with an off white small head. Doughy bready aroma. Dry taste without much hoppiness really, sweetish, clean, mild caramel taste. Another solid "base" beer with potential for more!
