Slovenian double IPA, thanks Davor for the can! Eggshell-white, papery lacing, medium thick, opening head on a hazy pale orangey-tinged 'old gold' beer. Aroma of stale lime juice, dried lemon peel, 'herbes de Provençe', dry crackers, thyme, cheese rind, old sweat, dried mango, frying oil, sweet red onion, rainwater. Fruity onset, mango and granadilla accents though refraining from becoming overly 'tropical', some very subtle lime peel sourishness, softish carb; fluffy, doughy, soft malt body, cracker-like and dryish with a slight powdery edge especially when the hops come in, dank, a bit 'stale' even (pond water), already turned a little bit cheesy, but nevertheless still with a lovely peppery and dry citrus peel-like quality, drying the finish and spicing it without undermining the juiciness and softness of the malts. The new hazy, New England or New England-inspired IPA style, not so much 'double' at 7% ABV if you ask me, but tasty and solid, even the aromatic qualities of the hops remain a bit understated. Still, for Slovenia, which has only recently - and still limitedly - jumped on the craft beer train, this seems proportionally very decent.

Can. Quite hazy orange-golden, larger creamy offwhite head. Intense fruity hoppy notes - citruses, especially grapefruit. Solid bitterness with some fruiyt sweetness later on. Lasting aftertaste. Quite filling body. Very fine. Slight alcohol warmth in the finish.
