On tap at Craft Room Zagreb. Murky pale orange/golden coloured, medium sized white head, sulphury citrusy nose. Sweetish malty, light citrusy, touch of herbs and grass with quite strong caramel presence. West coast character...like not...

Tap at Craft Room. Murky yellow body, white head. Subtle aroma, unidentified citric hoppiness, soft. Light, smooth, fresh bitterish taste, almost entirely missing aromatics other than mild herbal notes accompanying the bitterness. I mean...okay beer, doesn't work as an IPA.

Bottle, 0.5l. 5.9% ABV. Cloudy copper pour, half finger soapy white head. Medium retention, a bit of lacing as it goes down. Fruity nose with herbal notes, pronounced pine and citruses. Mild caramel in the background. Thin to medium body, medium carbonation. A bit fizzy mouthfeel, texture has this slight chewiness to it. Goes down smoothly. Pleasantly bitter with mild sweetness in the background. Aroma of grassy hops and citrus fruits, pine, slight tropical touches. Mild herbal spiciness. Pleasant lingering bitterness on the tongue. Medium dry finish, fruity aftertaste. Solid IPA. Refreshing and well balanced.

This one wasn't spoilt. Pours slightly hazy golden-amber, topped with large and lasting white foam. Gentle citrusy nose with some tropical feeling, Moderate hoppy bitterness, slightly fruity and shampoo-like. Pretty noticeable biscuity malty backbone and lasting aftertaste. Lighter body. Nothing special, really.

0,5 l bottle. Pours muddy ochre with huge frothy lasting white head. Aroma of citrus, soap, alcoholic (hot spicy, a warming, prickling sensation in the mouth and throat), solvent like, acetaldehyde. When it warms up the initial citrus notes are gone, only off smells remain. Flavor is the same story, only worse. Overcarbonated. Down the drain...
