Pivovarji imajo v svojem asortimentu vedno pivo, ki je paradni konj ali v žargonu imperialističnih narodov "flagship beer". Za nas je to the 3rd Pill. Izpopolnjujemo ga že dolgo dekado in zagotovo lahko rečemo, da gre za enega najbolj prodajanih ali za celo najbolj prodajan slovenskih kraft.

Ne le konsistenca in večno iskanje najboljše šarže, temveč tudi lahkota, s katero se to pivo spije, ga je naredilo nepogrešljivega. Skozi leta je postalo numero uno za številne ljubitelje piva, pohvale pa nenehno prihajajo tudi iz tujine.

Gre za klasični ameriški stil IPA. Zvarjen iz štirih različnih ječmenovih sladov in štirih različnih hmeljev. Kombinacija surovin, daje the 3rd Pillu ravno prav zajetno telo, ki ga izjemno dobro uravnoteži ravno pravšnja grenčica. Je ekvilibrum štirih stebrov — alkohola, kisline, sladkobe in grenčice. Zgleduje se po zahodni obali ZDA, ki je v preteklosti bila znana po suhih in izdatno hmeljenih pivih stila IPA. Danes pa se tovrstna piva že prav težko dobijo, saj so se umaknila številnim novim variantam stila IPA. The 3rd Pill pa kaže, da se mu nikamor ne mudi, saj ima zvesto občinstvo in vsakič znova prepriča nove in bodoče ljubitelje piva.

On tap at Sir William's Pub, pours a clear golden with a small beige head. Nose brings out light piney hops and biscuity malt backing. Flavour is along the same lines, with plenty of spicy piney hops and crisp biscuity malt. Crisp and piney, with subtle bitterness. Needs more oomph, but that's my North American palate.

Juicy sour orange on the nose with some cheese sharpness, perhaps an emmental. Minimal head and orange body leading to gold. Flavour is bitter hops with no complexity, rather one dimensional. Kind of watery, especially for an ipa. Drinkable but really on the lower end of these IPA things.
