Bottled. Golden colour witha mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma is bready, caramelly with some citrus and mild herbal tones. Flavour is herbal, citrusy and some grainy tones. Smooth and easy going.

0,5 l bottle. Pours clear deep golden with big, frothy off white head. Huge bubbles. Quite intense hop aroma, citrus, some tropical fruit, apples and pears. Taste is medium sweet and pleasantly bitter. Body is average, carbonation too high for my liking, prickly on the tongue and it slightly ruins finish. Finish is quite dry, fruity, citruses, apples and pears with moderate bitterness. Decent, non offensive, but high carbonation slightly ruins it for me.

Bottled 500ml. -at Pivoteka Zagreb. Clear golden coloured, small to medium sized white head, malty fruity nose. Moderate malty, caramel, citrusy and slightly grassy with rather dry bitter finish. Drinkable but in general nothing special here.

Tap at Horvati. Amber-golden, shiny but lightly hazy, off white, lasting head. Citric-lime aroma mixed with clean maltiness, bit spicy maybe. Light taste, distinct pineapple juice, going into something Styrian Wolfish, tangerine, which takes the reins then. Light, juicy, tasty, without bitterness, doing that whole juicy thing better than a huge majority of NEIPAs out there. Not flashy, but definitely nice.

Bottle, 0.50l. Aroma of apple, citrus, flowers, caramel and bubblegum. Cloudy amber color with thick creamy white head and soft visible carbonation. Taste starts with medium sweet caramel, follows by citrus and melon, mouthfeel is smooth and mild spicy, while finish is average bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Almost perfect...

0.5 l bottle from Že v redu, Primož (It's Alright, Primož). Shared at a drinking session with Višnja 666 and Pilot Goran in the summer of 2017. Thanks! Unfortunately passed its due date. Cloudy dark golden, small off-white head. Moderately hoppy - grassy, herbal, leaves. Caramel malts. Lost its bitterness. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation, light bitter finish.

Pours dark amber with just a slight haze and a small nonlasting white head. Fruity nose with apples and pears, some citrus tropics as well and quite flowery later on. Malty with biscuits and slight caramel, balanced by medium bitterness. Short aftertaste. Fresh and medium bodied. Nice one.
