Beer of golden color, moderately turbid and with a white, discreetly persistent and of variable density foam.
On the nose, hops begin dominating with lime, mango, papaya and other sweet fruit aromas. Also included are notes of resins, cypress, and cut grass. Very quickly, however, good grades of malt can be perceived in form of support which efficacy cannot be denied. Toasted aspects, bread crust, sweet bakery and some little-made caramel can be appreciated.
In the mouth, the hops are dominant with a bitterness that begins moderate and that increases until reaching a remarkable intensity.
The texture comes to counteract this aspect with great solvency. The beer remains clearly decanted towards the hops with a good aromatic counterpart.
I would highlight the combination of texture and bitterness as well as the aromatic profile that deserves special attention. In particular it can be said that the aromatic palette varies depending on the olfaction distance

Bouteille 33cl @ La Saka Ullastret, BB 06/26. Lot# 24018.
Dorée, léger pâle, col épais et crémeux blanc.
Bière de la gamme classique de cette brasserie oscillant vers une IPA voire Pale Ale. Arôme sur les agrumes, herbacé avec un support malté et céréales.
Facile à boire, léger sur les agrumes avec une petite note de résine, le tout ponctué par un support malté léger pâle carapils. Assez fraiche et bien ficelée - une bonne option pour une approche facile sans devoir boire de la hazy.

On tap at Craft Room, Opatovina, Zagreb. Shared with lovely Anja. Murky golden, small off-white head. Moderately hopped, fruity and citrus with a malty balance and a sugary touch, slight cardboard. Moderate to heavy bitterness, implying almost an IPA. Medium body, moderate carbonation, throat drying finish. 738415=3.7

On tap at BeerYard 2 Zagreb. Unclear golden coloured, small white head, mild citrusy nose. Moderate malty, fruity hoppy, citrusy, slightly herbal and pretty strong bitterness. Not bad.

On tap at Craft Room. Opaque golden-amber body, scant head. Hmm. Very nice aroma though, creamy, peachy and citric notes. Fresh herbal bitterness dominates the light, silky soft body, with the hops giving some citric, lemon seed notes too. Though dominating and sharp, the bitterness is well integrated. Not ordinary and that's fine. Falls a bit flat, but that kinda suits it. Dunno. Solid.

Bottle shared thanks to kermis. Gusher. Hazy golden with big fluffy white head. Again this lemon and lemon balm that all their beers we tried tonight had, pineapple, light sweet malts, some bitter herbs and hay, soft yeast. Maybe a touch of pineapple Brett. Under medium sweet and light bitter. Just medium bodied with lots of fizzy carbonation.

As Marina Costa Brava. Hazy gold beer, big off white head. A mild gusher this one. Palate is airy, fairly dry and finely crisp. Somewhat over carbonated really. Thin malts, modest sweetness. Little dry floralness. Okay orange citrus, touch of lemon. Dry crisp finish. A bit of okay fluff.
