Can from X. Misty amber body, off white head. Definitely enormous coconut in the aroma and light woody notes in the creamy aroma, some orange touches too. Soft taste, definitely a coconut-barrel combination, light hazelnut, somewhat flowery too, vague tangerine too. Almost a nut pale ale without any nuts, hah. Low bitterness. Tasty stuff, slightly on the flat side, but a very good single hop ale, though the hoppiness is so odd that I can see why it's been experimental for so long. I don't see any very many uses for it if it's not single hop, but still, who knows.

0,5 l can from X Bar, Zagreb. Thanks, Marko for getting this one. Hazy darker golden to amber, small off-white head. Moderately hoppy, fruity, strawberry, blood orange, coconut, tropical, there is pineapple, there is malts underneath. Ripe fruit in the aroma, slightly sweet, juicy, coconut again, citrus oils, blood orange in the finish with some zesty bitterness. Very nice strawberry-banana candy backbone. Good balance, good drinkability. Moderate carbonation, medium body.

Can, 0.5l. Cloudy copper pour, one finger soapy white head, short lasting. Nice lacing on the glass as it goes down. Fruity and herbal nose, tropical notes, subtle hints of vanilla. Quite nice. Medium body, soft carbonation. Soft mouthfeel and texture, silky smooth, nicely chewy. Very nice on the palate. Taste is more on the fruity sweet side with mild to medium herbal bitterness in the background. Tropical fruits, peach, citruses. Caramel. Milkshake, subtle vanilla, hints of coconut. Woody. Herbal and grassy notes in the background, subtle lingering bitterness. Slightly sticky. Medium lasting finish, dry, lingering coconut notes. Very good.

Canned 500ml. -from Goblet Zagreb. Unclear golden coloured, medium sized white head, fruity nose with whiff of wood. Sweet malty, fruity, light citrusy, piney and distinct touch of wood with flowery touch in the finish. Interesting and very good.
