Barba is a light Pale Ale style of beer, light and drinkable. It is moderately hopped with Cascade, Columbus, Mosaic and Simcoe hops. Each hop is carefully balanced to offer a blend of floral, grapefruit, piney and citrusy aromas. A light sweet body, along with a mild hoppy bitterness, creates a refreshing zesty ale, ideal s a first beer if you are getting into craft beers. Keep it cool and drink fresh.

Barba je svijetlo ale pivo laganog i pitkog tijela. Lagano je zahmeljeno hmeljevima Cascade, Columbus, Mosaic i Simcoe, koji su pivu dali cvjetnu, citrusnu i tropsku notu. Ovaj Pale Ale će vas svojom profinjenom gorčinom i primamljivim aromama savršeno uvesti u svijet craft piva. Kako bi zadržalo svjež okus hmelja i slada, potrebno ga je čuvati na hladnom i piti svježe.

Initially brewed with Centennial, Chinook and Columbus. Since April 2025 changed from 5.4% to 5% and produced at Zmajska pivovara.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Bottle in the hotel room, Split, From Little Beer Shop 2, 26/04/19. Hazed golden amber with a decent off white covering. Nose is orange pith, citric tinged straw, toasted malts, grass, lemon rind, faint herb. Taste comprises orange pith, grass, bitter citric peel, light pine, toasted grains, melon, light mineral bite. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with lightly aggressive hop bitterness. Not bad. Careful at the end ... some rough sediment from the final pour.

[33cl bottle from Beer52.] A slightly hazy amber pour with a billowing white head; herbal aroma; sharp sour taste with fruit and herbs; and a very sour finish with a dry herbal aftertaste. Rather unpleasant.
