Bottle, 0.5l. Hazy pale orange pour, one finger creamy off-white head. Pretty good retention, medium to long lasting. Thick lacing as it goes down. Herbal and grassy nose, pine, some stale notes, touch of citrus. Thin to medium body, medium carbonation. Smooth texture, relatively fizzy. Nicely balanced bittersweet taste, mild fruity tart. Well balanced aroma, fruity and herbal, a bit more on the herbal side, though. Caramel, grassy hops, herbal spiciness, lime, pine, orange peel. Sticky and drying, lingering bitterness on the tongue. Quite drinkable, well hidden alcohol. Medium to long finish, dry and bitter. Tasty.

Tap at Craft Room. Hazy golden body with a white head. Hop-driven aroma (durr, obviously), starting citric then heading towards currant candy, pungent. Big hoppy taste, more currant, herbal, hoppiness, okay malty presence, ending dry, with a mild, but distracting, crude bitterness - which kinda brings down an otherwise impressive beer. A very good beer that might be Ressel's best nonetheless.

Keg at the Craft Room, Zagreb, 28/04/19. Lightly hazed faded orange with a decent off white cap. Nose is pine resin, weed, bitter orange, grapefruit. Taste comprises orange pith, skunky tones, over ripe mango, weed, grassy, pine resin, mixed tropical fruits. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with grassy to lightly dankened hop bitterness. Solid DIPA ... best beer on our trip round Croatia, albeit it being Slovenian ... a couple ran close at 3.7 or so.

On tap at Craft Room Zagreb. Slightly hazy golden coloured, small white head, fruity and mild alcohol nose. Moderate malty, fruity, light grapefruity and citrusy with noticable but harmless alcohol and fruity finish. Nice one.

Tap, Pivo & Burger Fest, Ljubljana. Slightly hazy yellow golden, medium white ehad. Intense tropical fruity nose, pineapple and citruses. Medium bitterness, not harsh, with lots of fruits, slight sweetness and more citrusy. Drier finish. Very fresh and very nicely drinkable.
