On tap at BeerYard Festival, Zagreb. It poured a hazy darker brown body with medium sized brownish head. Fine caramel aroma with light coffee and nettle notes. Flavor was sweet and lightly bitter, overwhelmed with nettle, with nice balance between toasted and roasted malts - caramel, chocolate, coffee, licorice that goes back to dominating nettle. Medium bodied with a long finish that reflected the flavor complexity and added a bit of herbal hops. Or maybe that’s only how the nettle behaves. Very interesting combination, I adored the coffee profile as it blended nicely with this spice. I guess it varies a little bit every year, but this one was, in my preference, a great home run! Very well done!

Had this every time I visited Renaissance Fair in Koprivnica (Nettlevile), Croatia. Drank from a ceramic renaissance style mug. Very dark brown, lasting creamy off-white head. Dark malts, nutty, lightly roasty, slightly metallic. Dry and light tart from roasted malts. Very soft texture. Light to medium body, soft carbonation, light finish. Drinkable. No nettle or herbal character. Great texture and flavours.

On tap at Cajt, Zagreb. Muddy brown, small beige head. Herbal, bit coffeish. Quite drinkable. Bitterish finish. Interesting, but not my thing.

Dark brown colored, moderate strong beige to tan head, good lasting. Aroma is caramel, some roasted malt and coffee, herbs but not overly strong. Taste is moderate- sweet caramel, roasted malt and coffee with some low herbal nettle notes, dry finish. Moderate coffee and herbal bitterness. Low to medium bodied, moderate carbonation, good for a session beer. Probably not as strong in the way of the nettle as it should be concerning the name but it’s still a quite good and very drinkable beer. Perfect for watching armored footmen beating the shit out of each other. ^^ (drinking horn at Koprivnica Renaissance festival for the full experience)

On tap at Caffe Bar Cajt Zagreb. Muddy brown coloured. medium sized brownish head, touch of herbs in the nose. Roasted malt, herbs and caramel with mild notes of coffee and maybeee nettle. Bitterish finish and aftertaste. Easy-drinkable and pretty fine brew.

At the Renaissance Festival in Koprivnica. Probably brown body with an off white head. Mild aroma, caramel, herbs, just a touch meaty at times, but that’s gone quickly. Simple dry taste with a nice note of coffee that brakes through later and maybe caramel. Good bitterness. Well, if someone told me to guess what it was in a blind tasting, I wouldn’t have said nettle. But, this is still a very drinkable beer, and that lightness might be a plus for some. Not my favorite beer of theirs, by far. But it serves its purpose well, and the concept is excellent.
