On tap at Najgora Kava u Gradu. Cloudy golden, small white head. Coffee in aroma, malty, caramel, some citrus notes, bitter finish. Slightly watery. Light to medium bodied. Coffee overpowers, not sure if session IPA is the best choice for a coffee combo.

On tap at Hop In Craft Bar, Kanal, Zagreb. Shared with lovely Anja. Clear dark golden, small off-white head. Very interesting spicy aromas, citrus and zest with a hint of coffee. Dry and spicy, light bitter touch. Medium body, moderate carbonation, coffee appearing in the finish along with some hops. Interesting use of coffee, although I'd like to see more hops in this one.

On tap at Najgora Kava u Gradu. Golden coloured, small to medium sized off-white head, mild coffee nose. Sweet malty, coffee, light caramel and citrusy hoppy with rather dry coffee finish. Interesting brew.

Bit unclear, golden colored, white medium-small head. Aroma is mostly coffee and coffee beans. Taste is medium- sweet malt, lightish caramel, again mostly coffee with some citrusy-floral hops, moderate bitterness, dry finish. Medium-light bodied, soft carbonation. Coffee takes the spotlight too much for me, I'd go with the regular Siesta. (on tap, Fakin, Zagreb)

Tap at Najgora Kava u Gradu. Misty golden-amber body with a white head. Lovely balanced coffee aroma with citric hoppy undertones, not too light, growing well in intensity as the beer slightly warmed. Taste... classic clean Siesta body and citric/vaguely maybe tropical hoppiness mixing with lovely hoppy undertones, one side beating the other at random intervals, but no side winning out in the end. The finish is slightly too dry and a bit empty, the low point of an otherwise sublime beer, but what can be expected from a 4.4% session IPA with those hops - and it's questionable if elevated, say, bitterness, would work well with the coffee. All in all, aroma- and flavor-wise, quite a successful experiment.
