Do you add elderflower to this beer?

Croatian beer market used to be dominated by industrial lager-type beers, and some folks eagerly waited for hoppy nectar to finally enter the scene. Two guys managed to fix all the paperwork for opening their brewery and then launched a gipsy brewery in a rented facility of Kahli microbrewery in Kućan Marof. At the time, the market was not yet ready for IPA, but #FeelTheHops story could as well be introduced by a nice, hoppy ale.

And that's how our first beer was born - American pale ale, or simply APA, a beer style representative of the new wave of breweries in the USA during the '70s (the most significant representative of the style being Sierra Nevada Pale Ale). To keep things simple, we decided to combine the name of our company with the style of beer - Nova Runda APA. This is why people in pubs often just order Nova Runda. The main characteristic of this beer is Citra hop, which gives APA a nice, citrusy aroma, as well as pleasant bitterness and a fine dry taste. Since new consumers aren't familiar with the flavour of American hops, the specific citrus note often reminds them of elderflower. But it's just hops, trust us.
