0.33 l can from Pivoteka, Zagreb. Shared with Višnja 666. Hazy copper red, lingering small off-white head. Bred, dry fruits (raisins), wood, caramel. Malty, light sweetness with light hoppy finish. Medium carbonation and medium body, drinkable. It is a very ordinary brew, but with no big objections.

Can. Leafy hop nose, wow I can’t remember the last time I smelled EKG. Caramel toffee nose. Rounded palate with a leafy tobacco note around a big sweet earthy malt, very light hint of roast. I remember back in the 90’s when ESBs were everywhere and this would have sat with the best of the back then, though maybe the more technical minded might be bothered by the rather obvious crystal malt sugariness.

Location: Can at Ri Ra- Charlotte, 1/27/15, as Wide Open Red (same description different name)
Aroma: The nose is malt forward, plenty of toffee/caramel, some herbal and fruity hops
Appearance: It pours a darker reddish color with a thick, frothy beige head
Flavor: The flavor is along the same lines, sweet toffee/caramel, with a fruity/herbal hop bitterness
Palate: The body is light-medium, with a soft-to-average carbonation, and a light dry finish
Overall Impression: I thought this one was pretty solid. It is not a standout, but it has a balanced (slightly malt forward) flavor. Drinkable for sure.
