Rerate from August ’16. A 0.33 l bottle (thanks Antonia!) that poured hazy amber body with a big head. Significantly less hazy and therefore darker than the first try. Weaker but pleasant aroma, biscuit and fruity malt, some honey, toffee maybe, also dusty. Flavor was lightly bitter and sweet, honey and biscuit with light caramel and chalky yeast. Medium bodied with a moderately long finish that followed the flavor. Light herbal bitterness at the end, too. Okay, especially for an ESB.
Jul. ’16. On tap at the second BiH Craft Beer Festival, Mostar. It poured a muddy pale amber body with a small head. Strong chlorophenol aroma - washing powder. Flavor was lightly grainy, chalky, caramel and honey malt with much less phenolic notes, but still very bothering and biting. Long finish. Like another beer at the festival, completely off from the appearance to the finish. Will rerate when I encounter it next time. 3/2/5/2/8=2.0

Bottled (thanks Antonia for sharing this shared with heavy & me!), late august 2016. Murky amber body witha a small off white head. Perfumey malty aroma, fruity, extremely light tart, eggy undertone, but pleasant overall. Perfumey, fruity malty taste, very light yeastiness/meaty note. Creamy and quite drinkable. A good beer, keeping its flaws hidden, maybe fresh so they didn’t get to develop, thankfully. On its own, it’s a nice little amber ale, props for that!On tap in Mostar, late July 2016.Thanks heavy! On tap I guess at the beer fest in Mostar. Murky orange/ochre body with a lasting, small off white head. Grainy aroma completely overtaken by chlorophenols, bready taste compltely overtaken by chlorophenols. Off and should not have been released like this. Oof, I know these guys can do better, I just can’t seem to run into their beer in good form. 3/3/3/2/4
