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.

Bottled 330ml. -from Vrutak Zagreb. Unclear orange coloured, minimal white head, mild yeasty grassy nose. Sweet malty, quite yeasty, notes of fruits and citrus with dry finish. A way too strong yeast presence. Bad bottle or...

Bottled, from Pivoteka Zagreb, Zagreb. Murky golden, rich creamy head. Yeasty nose with elderflowers, marmelade and pine. Mid sweet with light-medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Dominated by marmelady yeast. Some hay, custard and canteloupe. Very slight piney bitterness.

Bottle from Craft Room. Poured a murky orange body with a lasting big white head. Aroma... yeah, Goldings pretty much giving out notes of jam, some maltiness. Taste... again the jam, rosehip? Sweetish taste ending dry, very dry, pretty much no bitterness. The taste is pleasant, would be easy drinking as they were aiming at, if it wasn’t for the excessively dry finish which prevents this from being too moreish. With a tweak or two, this might be a summer winner... for those willing/able to pay the somewhat high price.

0.33 l bottle from Pivoteka, Zagreb. Shared with lovely Anja. Murky golden, strong thick white head. Medium hopped, grassy hops, hay, some fruits there, citrus. Medium carbonation, light body. Sparkling and fresh. Malty character but also hoppy finish. Good balance.
