This has got kind of an old fashioned hop nose that I really enjoy, floral and citrus, really reminds me of the old Ballantine IPA or Woodstock IPA that I really really loved. Vague oakiness, or maybe just my imagination because I’m thinking about that old Woodstock IPA now. But I’m really enjoying it, tremendously enjoying the nose on this. Flavor is balanced, slightly peppery, slightly floral, malts are dry but provide a sufficient backbone to hold everything up. Not overly dry, not too thin like a session IPA. Very cloudy amber, tends toward lighter, slightly orange. White clean pitted head, heavy lacing. I have to say I really like it. I like it a lot.

This is your standard hoppy IPA. Citrus, pine, tropical fruit with a good malt backbone. Bitter and lingering finish. Nothing stands out positive or negative. Not a beer to search out necessarily but it is a very well-brewed and solid IPA.

Bottled 355ml. -from Vrutak Zagreb. Unclear golden coloured, medium sized white head, mild honeyish herbal nose. Sweet malty, light herbal hoppy, orange and fruits with touch of honey and bitterish/sweet finish. Also ordinary bitterness. Nothing special here, just average.

Bottle from Pivoteka. Lovely misty orange-golden body, honeyish, with a huge, lasting off white head. The aroma immediately gives away notes of oxidation, dry and honeyish, slightly woody. The citric notes do break through, but pine and tropical fruit are a no-no in this shape. BB 5.2018. Hm. Taste... interesting smooth fruity touch, creamily peachy with some tangerine, slightly sweetish under a heap of resiny/herbal bitterness. While certainly not fully fresh, the oxidation is less apparent in the taste thankfully, but still apparent, mind you. Sip by sip, it makes more and more sense and ends up being tasty, though it still feels incomplete. Hope to rerate it more fresh.
