0.44l can. Hazy amber body with an off white head. The aroma starts with a bold burnt sugar note that doesn't serve the beer, but behind that it's much better showing notes of caramel, dried apricot and pine. Taste of caramel, dried apricot, grapefruit, lemon zest, pine and hop resin. It also has a bit of burnt sugar character, but not much. Medium body with a lower than average carbonation. Lasting bitter finish. OK IPA.

Can, 0.44l. Hazy copper/amber pour, two finger frothy off-white head, medium retention, sticky lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, more on the malty side, caramel, herbal and grassy notes, ripe tropical fruits.
Medium body, soft to medium carbonation, lively. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, soft, chewy, slightly fizzy, easily drinkable. Bitter taste balanced with mild sweetness in the background. Aroma of caramel malt, bread, grassy hops. Herbs and spices, light peppery. Ripe tropical fruits, citrus peel, sugary candy notes. Lingering alcohol in the background, mild burn. Medium lasting finish, dry, herbal, bitter.
Not bad but not great either.

Tap at X. Shiny clear copper body, lasting thick off-white head. Looks old school as hell, in a good way, and I see crystal in the malt bill, but, on the other hand, there are good reasons why it's far less used nowadays... Sweetish caramelly and bit resinous aroma, some glue, hints of old barrel. Huge caramel in the taste, weird barrel-like touches, boozy-seeming, low resin and candied citrus touches, low bitterness... Oh no...

Canned 440ml. -at Ambasada Zagreb. Golden coloured, medium sized off-white head, caramel and light citrus in the nose. Sweet malty, light burnt caramel notes, notes of citrus and touch of green apple with dryish sugary finish. Something went wrong here.
