On tap at Craft Room Zagreb. Darker golden coloured, medium sized off-white head, weak citrusy nose. Sweetish malty, mild fruity herbal hoppy, slightly citrusy and caramel with rather sweetish finish. Surprisingly balanced.

19th Nov 2016: 33cl bottle at the brewery. Off-white head on an amber body, looked fine. A malty nose is balanced in the flavour by a mild citrusy note or two, another easy drinking beer from these guys: liked it.
