Premda nosi naziv pale, pouzdano znamo da jedinstveni okus ovog piva ne blijedi lako.

Kombinacijom četiriju sorti hmelja iz Novog svijeta dobili smo osvježavajuće mirise manga i citrusa karakteristične za ovo pivo punog tijela i ugodne gorčine.
Realno, pitko je do bola!

Sep ’14. Both on tap and from a 0.33 l bottle at Dva Tona bar, Split. Poured clear dark amber body with a smaller head. Nice pale ale aroma, fruity with lot of citrus hops. Flavor was bitter, herbal, pine and citrus hops were persistent, but the sweet peach, biscuit malty component wasn’t shy either, making it extremely balanced. There was another occasional lightly bitter, harsh note (yeasty/grainy/spicy) which only added to its character. At only 5.3% body was relatively full (although more alcohol to support more body wouldn’t do any harm). Finish was long, pleasantly sweet vanilla, now overtaking the hop bitterness. Very good pale ale, enjoyed it numerous times since my initial rating and can only hope for more of their excellent beers in the future! Hats down Andrej and Bojan!

Bottle. Aroma fruity, exotic. Nice intensity, hoppy. Clear orange colour. Taste is simple, but nice, hop-centered. Fruity, a bit less intensity than aroma suggests. Still very good. Easily drinkable.

Bottle kindly donated by brewer. Dark Golden color with medium white head. Strong citrus hoppy aroma together with mango, tangerines. Citrus hoppy taste with pines, grapefruit zest, solid malty backbone. Medium long hoppy bitter finish. Good.

On tap at various places, latest at Ro&Do, Zagreb. Nice orange color with white head. Nice aroma, tropical fruits and citrus. Bitter fruity flavor. Bitter finish. Would like to see more body, too thin for my taste.

Thanks! 330 ml. bottle shared together with digita7693 & Martinus. Interesting to try both beers that are currently being produced by these guys after seeing them in on the “Top New Brewers In The World” on RB. Amber, light, little head. Nose is rather watery with orange, pine, faint ice water peach. Taste carries very faint funk in the star, goes into lightly watery pine, orange peel, caramel, lightly hoppy, light caramel & agave sweetness. It is too watery for sure but drinks decently still. This is a decent beer that is very likely miles ahead any other competitor in their area.

0,33 bottle at Beerville bottle shop in Belgrade (Serbia) with markoijelena. Pours orange filtered, off white head which leaves lacing. Nose: bread crust, smoked feel, citrus. Mouth: mild, easy body. Anyway, bitter and tasty enough.

Pours a clear orange color, topped with a rather small white head. Starts with a pleasant fruity aroma followed by some caramel and hoppy notes. Taste starts sweet, followed by a gentle hoppy bitterness. Mild and gentle, but very drinkable.

On tap at Tolkien’s Zagreb. Darker amber coloured, small to medium sized off-white head, hoppy nose. Sweetish malty, flowery grapefruity hoppy and mild bready with mild fruity notes in bitterish finish. Pleasant long-lasting bitter aftertaste. Nice brew.
