Cloudy, orange-gold colored, medium off white lasting head. Aroma is of caramalt, some estery notes, medium- hoppy citrus aroma, some yeast. Taste is medium- sweet caramel malt, medium hoppy aroma, citrus and some tropical fruits, some biscuit and bready finish, yeast, medium- bitterness, dryish finish. Medium- bodied, soft carbonation. Taste could be cleaner, but overall better than I expected. Heh, indian tribes, heh...

Thanks Milić! Shared with ogivlado. Darker honey-orange misty body, lasting medium off white head. Nice! Taste... well... better, much better than the "IPA". Aroma hops, vaguely fruity, somewhat herbal, dry crackery maltiness, slightly soft background, the yeast pops out only a little, the alcohol too. OK. Soft, mild taste, orange and peach from the aroma hops, grainy maltiness, Creamy. Good hoppiness, well integrated herbal bitter finish and looong peppery bitter hoppy aftertaste. Maybe it seems better than it actually is after the abysmal IPA, maybe I’m surprised it’s actually OK after the insanely moronic commercial deScription (Seriously people? North American Indian tribe hops? What were you smoking?). Just vague yeastiness from the unnecessary bottle conditioning. This is a solid beer. Perhaps the worst locally brewed APA so far, but still fine enough. Unlike, again, the "IPA".

2025 rerate:
At the Žminjska školka... we were tricksy and got our students to judge it as an English IPA, which it isn't, but hey. Anyway, thx Neven for grabbing a very, very fresh batch, which was ideal for a rerate almost 10 years after it was initially released. The body was quite clear, golden-amber with an off-white head. The aroma was largely hop-driven now, orange and herbal notes in equal amounts roughty. Similar taste, tangerines and herbs from the hops, but backed with an annoying peppery phenolic presence. Yes, it's still refermented in the bottle, and they may think of a million excuses about why they still do it in 2025, some legit, but the bottom line is - even at its freshest, bottled, it's brought down by it ultimately.
2016 review:
Thanks Milić! Shared with ogivlado. Honey-orange misty body, small, thick white head. Aroma... creamy peachiness marred by yeasty notes and a vague hint of alcohol. Somewhat bready. Empty taste... just yeastiness at first, no hops. Soft maltiness, vaguely creamy, maybe weak peachy notes. Bitterness en par with an industrial lager, maybe 1 ibu more or something. What’s already an sub par attempt at an English IPA is further ruined by unnecessary bottle conditioning. 8/4/4/6/5
