Bottle, 0.50l. Cloudy amber brown color with medium soapy off-white head, nice lacing and average sparkling appearance. Aroma of citrus, mango, pine and herbs. Taste starts with light sweet but rich biscuit and toasted malt, following is grassy and piney, mouthfeel is dry, while finish is harsh bitter. Medium body, oily texture and average carbonation in palate. Well done malty and grassy IPA...

Draught at Craft Bier Fest Wien Tasting Sessions.
Copper, moderate hazy body, with a medium, creamy, light beige head.
Aroma of citrus, flowers, stone fruits, berries, honey.
Tastes of sweet wild berries, peach, citrus, grass, some pine, honey, biscuit.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes bitter, a bit dry, zesty, piney, grassy, sweet fruity, malty.
Tasty. Very nice, sweet fruity taste, but still very well balance, never too sweet. Very quaffable and fresh. Lovely IPA.

Finally, a bottled version. Pours a fairly clear coppery color, topped with solid and lasting cream colored head. Very pleasant fruity aroma (perhaps peaches and passion fruit) with notes of biscuits later on. Strarts with a sweet fruity taste, immediately followed by moderate hoppy bitterness, some notes of biscuits and herbal aftertaste. Very drinkable, a bit stale, and perhaps a more gentle IPA than usual.

On tap at Ljubljanski Festival Piva, Slovenia. Almost amber coloured, small off-white head, fruity nose. Moderate malty, fruity agrumey and light caramel taste with quite bitter aromatic hoppy finish. Also hint of spicy hops. Pleasant sipa. Croatian word sipa means cuttlefish on English.

Hehhehehe sipa. Anyway, different name nad abv from the amber ipa, so I added it. Poured a dark shiny coppery red-brown body, really dark for a pale ale yet not a black ipa. Lovely fruity agrumey aroma with a good malty background. It continues, fresh, in the taste. Lemon drops, lovely too, turning into a plastic-like finish with a healthy dose of bitterness. They aren’t pulling any punches despite an "unaccustomed" market and that’s to be respected and copied. In Croatia too, ya hear?!
