Tap at Medina Škrinja, Varaždin. I really, REALLY hope it's not the same keg that nephirem had still on tap... but it wouldn't shock me. Very dark brown body, blackish, off-white head. Caramelly maltiness and funky, unclean pipe vibes, somewhat fruity in the aroma. Smooth malty body, empty, bit of caramel, and more funky, fruity notes, indicative of infection, lightly sour. I'll try to catch it somewhere else, but this was... not great. Come on people, that 0.05l or 0.1l you pour out if the beer wasn't poured in a while won't put you out of business, but it might make someone pay 4-5 more Euros for another glass of a beer if it's not fucked by the pipes. But if it's NOT the pipes - well, this should've been off and returned... It would've been 5.6/5.8 as I could finish it, and I raised it just in case it was the bar's fault...

On tap @Medina Škrinja pub, Varaždin. Black pour, two finger creamy beige head, medium retention, sticky lacing on the glass. Sweet and roasty on the nose, wood notes, light fruity, caramel in the background.
Medium body, soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, soft, chewy, creamy, light sticky. Balanced bittersweet taste, slightly roasted. Aroma of toasted caramel, wood, dark bread. Nutty, light chocolate notes. Medium lasting finish, slightly dry, sweet, roasty.
Easily drinkable. Good one.

Tap at Pivana. Almost black dark brown body, off-white head. Dried fruit and roast with some dark caramel in the aroma, whiffs of alcohol. More lean, dry and bitterish than expected, not too sweet, cocoa joins with the roast, more dried stone fruit, herbal bitterish finish, more alcohol. Actually enjoying this a fair bit, good work Mirko!

Can, 0.5l. Cloudy golden pour, one finger soapy white head, medium retention, broken lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, grassy and grainy notes, herbal, hints of citrus peel.
Light to medium body, medium carbonation, lively. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, soft, fizzy, refreshing. Goes down quite nicely. Balanced bittersweet taste, more on the bitter side. Aroma of grass, grains, bread. Malty notes, herbal, light spice, hints of citrus. Slightly peppery. Medium lasting finish, mild lingering bitterness.
Solid thirst quencher.

Draft at Azimut, Šibenik, Croatia, Tuesday 9th September 2025 after a long walk around the maze of alleyways and streets and a lovely seafood lunch at Bistro Luce & Brigita. Other than the fact it was actually served in a Hefeweisse glass (I guess a 500ml pils glass is hard to come by) it looked fab, nice pale gold appearance, mid sized white head. A touch on the sweet side, but pleasant citrus bite, could be crisp and more pils like but otherwise another solid Grid beer.

Bottle from supermarket, had this back at Frank, Friday 5th September 2025 after another walk from Camp Riviera Makarska into Makarska. Pours yellow with a haze, large white head. Tropical touches from the off, it's very fruity, light bitterness, hoppy, good bite. For a beer that's not too difficult to buy from a supermarket, this is good.
