330ml draft pour at the brew restaurant. Pours a deep orange with a white creamy head. Aromas & tastes of fruits, caramel, hops & malt. Medium body. Smooth light bitter finish. Highly enjoyable

Optimistic 0.5l pour at the restaurant/brewpub, with heavy and his Anja. Murky orange-golden body, off-white head. Pleasant citric touches initially, orange mostly, touch of maltiness and yeast, and then everything gets beaten up by chlorophenols. Smooth, bit chalky, yeasty taste, gain some citric, orange notes in the taste, but the chlorophenols have won out here. I completely believe that the beer is as good as Jerseyislandbeer presents it when it was fresh - Tonći is an experienced homebrewer, and has tweaked the recipe often enough, however, for whatever reason the beer picked up chlorophenols and they came out in the month between our ratings... Will revisit and rerate a fresh batch at some point hopefully (in a month and a half?).
