Bottle picked up from Plodine supermarket Orebic, Pelješac peninsula Croatia and consumed at Camp Sunset 5km north of Primošten, Saturday 6th September 2025. Pours orangey with a large white head, lively pour, actually a very lively pour, good mouthfeel, soft but buzzy. Nice bitterness, there's a bretty edge, Loz picked up on this initially and yea she's bang on and wow does that elevate this to something different as aI guess that it wasn't intended. Other than that a little citrus and herbal notes.

Bottle, 0.33l. Hazy deep copper pour, one finger frothy off-white head, short lasting. Minimal lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, herbal, grassy and grainy notes. Pine and citrus notes in the background. Medium body, lively carbonation. Average mouthfeel and texture, fizzy, refreshing, easily drinkable. Bitter taste balanced with mild sweet notes in the background. Aroma of toasted caramel, grassy hops, citrus. Grains, herbal notes, mild spice. Bitterness nicely building in the background. Medium lasting finish, dry, bitter, light spice. Pretty good.

Bottle, thanks Ogi who shared it with Hrabren and me. Hazy dark golden body, white head. Soft hoppy, vaguely citric, vaguely peachy aroma, somewhat malty,-grainy lightly herbal, okay if subdued. Lean bitter herbal taste with fruity undertones, very bitter-forward. Not bad, aperitif-style almost, hah, but not great.
