Bottle from Vrutak. Tasting at Brnja’s place. Thanks! Clear amber, lasting small off-white head. Some hops there, mostly grassy, light metallic. Perfumed, light bitter. Light to medium body, high carbonation, light finish. Not good.

Bottle, 0.5l. Pours cloudy copper body with small slightly off-white head. Smell is malty sweet, herbal with lots of caramel and toffee. Medium body, softly carbonated. Slightly creamy texture. Pleasantly bitter with subtle malty sweetness. Aroma of yeast, malts, caramel and toffee. Herbal, floral. Touch of honey. Traces of metal on the tongue during the finish. Finish itself is a bit dry. Overall, good. Nothing exceptional, but good nonetheless.

Bottle, 500 ml from Pivoteka, Zagreb. Shared with JFK10000. Pours amber with small off-white head. Caramel malts, light sweetness, dry. Too simple too light for me.
