33cl bottle at Emma, Rome. Pours hazy amber with a tiny, off-white head. Mild malty and slightly fruit with hints of herbs and caramel. Medium sweet with mild flavours and ditto bitterness. Fair enough.

17/XI/15 - 75cl bottle @ Horeca Expo (Gent) - BB: 17/XII/16 (2015-1609)

Clear orange beer, creamy yellowish head, very stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very fruity, bit sweet, honey, oxidized, sweet, malty. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very bitter, bit fruity, malty, oxidized touch, bit medicinal. Aftertaste: bitter, grassy, bit fruity, some bubble gum, very nice! Better than the US hopped version, "Olmaia Tangerine".

12oz pour at IL Santo Bevitore pours a murky orange with some thick, lacing white head. Nose has buttered biscuit, orange jam, some yeast, some soap. Flavor is a little better, orange pith, soap, yeast, a bit of lemon tea, tannic. Dry finish with some soapiness. Tried for a pub ale and missed.

Bottled 750ml. -from Rockmark Zagreb. Murky orange coloured, huge white to off-white head, not so pleasant strong yeasty fruity nose. Sweetish malty, light fruity and discreet hoppy with hint of spices in rather bitter finish. Pretty messy brew and a way too expensive (almost 10€ for the bottle at the book shop).

0.75l, around 9€ at the Rockmark, Croatia’s first "music library", in Zagreb. Mmmkaaay. Shared with Ogi & Maja of course. Opened with a huge bang & gushed a little (yeah, apparently an Olmaia thing). Daaark amber body, murky, with a huuuge lasting off white head that stayed there forever. Creamy, sweetish malty aroma, apricot/peach & dust, tiny bready note... humm.... Somewhat empty taste driven by a herbal hopiness, ends "stupidly" bitter. Ok, smooth malty background. Overpriced, unbalanced, too simple, and yet not entirely bad I guess. I can’t think of a person to recommend it to though.

Courtesy of & thanks to Kraddel. 75 cl. bottle sampled @ “Poppyland Sucks Tasting” @ the Barely legal tasting room. Hazy oily orange with only some bubbles on top. Smells quite oily, herbal bitter, touch herbs, medicinal hops, bit watery. Tastes bitter herbal, touch alcohol, oily some watery sugar, sweetish leading into herbal and touch medicinal hop finish. Somewhat watery body. Nothing in the way of balance or structure but it is enjoyable.
