Bottled 330ml. -from Spar Slovenske Konjice. Unclear golden coloured, medium sized airy off-white head, dusty caramelish nose. Weak malty, dry caramel, notes of grass and touch of herbs with rather short finish.

Pours slightly hazy amber colour, topped with a lasting white foamy head. Citrusy nose, pretty nice but taken over by freshly baked bread nose. Taste follows, medium bitterness with citrusy presence. Lasting aftertaste. Light body. Not bad or anything, just the citrusy character fades away way to soon, both in the aroma and taste.

0.33 l bottle. Pours golden, slightly hazy with a finger of dense lasting off white head. Aroma is malty, caramel with herbal and flowery hop notes, a bit soapy. Taste is medium sweet, medium bitter. Body is light to medium, texture is slick, carbonation average. Finish is medium, mainly herbal and soapy fades to mellow light bitterness with some caramel in the background. Decent base, but way too soapy, hence low palate rate.

Bottle, 0.33l. Clear copper pour, one finger frothy off-white head. Medium retention, good lacing. Nose is grassy and herbal, good hop character, some candy-like notes. Thin body, medium to high carbonation. Light texture, prickly mouthfeel. Moderately bitter taste. Aroma is a bit watered down, simple and straightforward. Grassy, herbal, some citrus fruits. Grainy, dusty aftertaste. Peppery. Dry bitter finish. Overall, drinkable but mediocre. Probably the best effort under the Pittinger label but seriously overpriced. 2€ for 0.33l bottle? Errrrr, thanks, but no thanks. Pittinger beers should be cheaper, there's no real reason to choose this over more "serious" craft beers when the price difference is like... 20cents? Or when for 2,50€ you can get the likes of Hopsbrew Oatmeal Stout with Vanilla which is quite awesome AND 0.5l. Oh well.
