Brewed using the highest quality barley grown on UK assured farms. Golden in colour with a light, dry palate & a fresh, fruity aroma. Perfect with bangers & mash or roast beef.

Matured live in the bottle for a fresher taste. Can be enjoyed cloudy, but ideally pour slowly leaving the last few drops in the bottle with the yeast. For best results store upright & serve at 10-12°C.

500ml bottle from Kuća Piva. This one got frozen by accident, so I’ll be getting another one for me to rerate and for heavy to rate. Poured a nice golden-amber body (which got only slightly hazy in the end, bit skimpy on the yeast here, which is ok), with a small slightly off white head. The carbonation’s ok, considering the freezing. Slightly honeyish malty aroma, herbal hoppy note. Grainy malty background that gets run over by a somewhat tangy herbal hopiness, decent interplay between the two ending up in some remotely yaffa-cake like notes. Slightly creamy, only just a tad metallic maybe. Not the flashiest of beers, around but kinda enjoyable. Not by any means worth the little-less-than-3 Euros I paid for it though.

500ml bottle. Clear golden colour with good creamy lacing white head. Grainy malt aroma with a fennel-like or so hop note. Sweet caramel taste, immediately dominated by bitter hop taste, slightly sopay fade out. A bit boring overall.

Bottle: Golden, nearly clear, stable and lacy off-white layer; light to moderate fruity-hoppy nose; moderate dryish bitter-sweet flavour, quite light bodied; slightly lingering bitter-peary finish. Brave thirst-quencher, nothing to complain.....

(bottle-conditioned, 4.5% abv) Hazy, golden colour with a mid-sized slightly off-white foamy head. Citrus-fruity hoppy aroma with a touch of cara-malt. Mildly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a spritzy carbonation. Soft cara-malty base with fruity hops and a tinge of yeasty spice; moderately dry and bitter, fruity and minimally woody hoppy finish. Just okay, but finally not really convincing. 04.XII.10

From a 500ml bottle on 10/11/2010. Has a mild grassy hop aroma, with a touch of citrus. Taste wise, it begins with a sweet, slighty citrus fruit note (lemony). Finishes with a moderate but long bitterness. Has quite a thin finish. Just okay.
