The special edition beer with an alcohol content of 5.2% aged in Nestville Whisky barrels is limited in number. Each bottle is marked with the serial number of the bottle and with the number of the barrel in which the beer acquired its unique and unmistakable character.
Top-fermented pale 12% beer. Unfiltered, pasteurized. Light aroma of tropical fruits with hints of grapefruit, pear and melon. Beautiful light golden color, fresh citrus taste with a bitter flavor finish from hops.

Bottled 750ml. -Darker golden coloured, medium sized white head, buttery nose with whiff of barrel. Sweet malty, light herbal, dominant butterscotch, notes of oxidation and stale hops with discreet touch of whisky in the sweetish finish. Not good.

On tap at the brewpub. Quite okay APA and very welcome change in the land of ŠŠ. I've enjoyed it.

Bottle via Salon piva. Med-high bitterness, malt rather in the background if I am not counting the med-light smoke. The smokiness seems to come across more in this one than the rest of the beers, as does light barrel character. It all mixes together decently, the whisky elements sitting a bit lower than the citrusy resiny hops character. Good one.
