Top-fermented blonde ale. Unpasteurized, unfiltered, bottle-fermented, no additives or preservatives. Brewed with passion and expertise by our Brewmaster.
Golden Ale with hoppy Styrian GOLDING (and Magnum) taste. Very drinkable, sweet barley malt at the beginning and bitterness right after. OPTIMIST is the boat used by children to learn sailing: it’s light and breezy and it can go wherever the wind brings it.
Natural yeast sediment.

Bottle, 0.33l. Hazy orange pour with minimal white head, short lasting but leaving some lacing on the glass. Smell is faint, a bit undefined, malty, yeasty, slightly herbal and floral. Touch of caramel. Thin to medium body with watery texture, very softly carbonated. Moderately bitter taste with unfortunately not so subtle metallic acidity. Aroma of malts, yeast, hops. Caramel and herbs. Metallic. A bit bland, undefined, watered down. Lack of character. Dry finish with lasting metallic bitterness. Overall, expected a bit better. Avarage and basic.

Jun. ’16. A 0.33 l bottle from Mali Ducan, Split. It poured a hazy golden body with a small head. Sweet aroma of honey and elderflower hops. Flavor was bitter, herbal with lighter sweet honey and grainy counterpart, with notable yeast presence but not that overwhelming as in their amber. Medium bodied with long bittersweet finish that followed the flavor well and added an interesting pepper note. Okay, enjoyable. Has room for further improvement.

Pours a hazy orange color, topped with a small and non-lasting white head. Very mild grassy aroma, not much else going on. Mildly sweet with some mild bitterness, quite spicy with some soury feel. Medium aftertaste, medium light body.
