Bottle, 500 ml from Svijet Piva, Zagreb. Pours amber with small off-white head. Malty, caramel, bit herbal, some bitterness in finish. Sweetish. Light to medium bodied. So so.

Bottled 500ml. -from Vrutak Zagreb. WTF, only ONE rate before me. Amber/copper coloured, small off-white head, some caramel in the nose. Sweetish malty, caramel, slightly nutty and touch of herbs with rather bitter finish. Unbalanced and too watery but thereโs hope for the future.

Latest rating: at the Red Lion, Swaffham Prior. Chestnut brown. Sour vinegar sulphurous aroma. Taste is actually sweet and quaffable, with a lovely hoppy aftertaste. A reasonable ale, although Iโm not overly keen.

On handpull at the Old Vine. Aroma is a little fruity but not much, and the flavour has bread, malts and grapes. Rerate: Handpull at a hotel. Touch of egg in a fruity bitter aroma, lovely toffee and bready malts with some dried fruit and a little bright apple.

Cask as Razor Back at the Porter & Sorter, Croydon. It pours clear rich amber with a thick white head. The aroma is brown bread, cereal, nut, earth and cereal. The taste is bitter - sweet, wood, cereal, toasted grain, brown bread, nut and light spice with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Great condition. Pretty alright actually.

Cask pint at the Sand Martin, Cardiff. Copper colour, lasting moderate head, slightly off-white. Moderate malty aroma, hints of toffee. Very smooth mouthfeel and flavour, moderately malty but not sweet, a slight fruitiness makes it very drinkable. Decent hops in the aftertaste.
