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.

Das Bier fand ich in einer Craftbier-Box bei Hofer (dem österreichischen Äquivalent zu Aldi), was mich sehr erfreute, da ich solch hochqualitatives Bier an dieser Stelle nicht erwartet hatte. Es ist ein fein gehopftes IPA, das nicht widerlich bitter ist. Der Hopfen ist gut und gezielt eingesetzt. Da keine Hopfensorten auf dem Etikett gelistet sind, ist wohl kein amerikanischer Aromahopfen im Einsatz. Aber auch mit dem allgemeinen Hopfen passt es ganz gut. Für Freunde von amerikanisch hopfigen Bieren mag es etwas fad sein, aber einen Geschmack trifft es gut.

500ml Bottle (Thanks Omhper) - Amber in colour. Mandarin, grapefruit, mango and a faint hint of ginger in the aroma. Tangy, hoppy, zesty and fruity taste with grapefruit, mango, orange, apricot and peach standing out. Punchy and full of flavour yet nicely balanced.

Tasting at Ljubljana Beer & Whiskey Festival 2015. Clear orange, white head. Strong floral aroma, heavily hopped. Bitter-sweet balance. Light to medium body, strong lasting finish, bitter and sweet again. A classic. My personal best of the show. Tasting again at Valhalla, Zagreb. Wonderful floral and tropical notes. Citrusy, elderberry. Good balance. Bitterness just under the norm. Very easy and aromatic. Still a favourite.
