Brežice Beer Fest. Poured a dark golden body with almost no head. Vaaaague aroma hops in the nose, citric, candyish, but very, very vague. The taste is bitter up front, vaguely fishy, vaguely grainy... and not much else, with a strange tea-like herbal note permeating it. Not unpleasant, not a bad beer, not really "American", but it’s interesting and drinkable - if you’re not expecting that much, great!

Brežice Beer Fest, thanks Ogi for sharing it! So, a wheat beer with ginger... their matevž beer worked more or less, will this? Poured a murky paaaaaaale beige body with a tiny white head. Perfumey, flowery aroma, the ginger pushes through more and more as it warms. Perfumey ginger taste, slightly watery, citric notes too. The lack of burn annoys me, but it’s actually a pleasant drink.

Brežice Beer Fest, on tap. I LOVE it when brewers experiment randomly like this. I must admit I was initially a bit wary, because of the previous beers from this brewery, and some issues they’ve had, but right now everyone agrees that they are the most improved brewery (quality control-wise) in Slovenia nowadays, so I shouldn’t have. Its body is dark amber I guess with a white head. Creamy, full aroma, yeasty initially, vaguely smoky, a touch of plastic... as it warmed it gained in complexity and appeal, gaining fruity notes, strange but actually pleasant! The taste is, well... yeah, more bean-like than expected, though mostly smokey, slightly plastic-like, but not in that bad a way. Slightly lighter/more watery than expected too, vague vegetable notes. Strange, unique, not a bad beer. Thumbs up!

Pours a slightly hazy pale yellow color, topped with a small white head. Malty aroma, sweet and fruity slightly complemented by some herbal notes. The taste is slightly sweet with some herbal notes and spices. Very pleasant, easily drinkable and tasty.

Matevž is a typical Slovenian dish, made from potatoes and beans, which are also the ingredients of this beer. Pours a slightly hazy amber color, topped with a decent just off-white head. A fairly strong aroma, smoked with some nice hops. The taste is pleasantly bitter, smoked with some spicy notes. Maybe I expected too much of potatoe and beans, but in the end a very enjoyable and extra drinkable beer.

Smooth malty beginning. Fresh floral hops, not too bitter, not too sweetish in the body. The mainpart is smooth-mild with a floral hoppiness. Nice! The aftertaste is refreshing-smooth, not too bitter but floral-fresh, mild-bodied, easy to drink!

330ml bottle shared between 6 at the Midlands tasting on 24th aug 2014. Black pour with a full tanned head. Aroma is fruity with a malty feel, some sourness creeping in too. The taste was weak flavours of dark chocolate and dark fruits that had gone off. Strange, could well have been an infected bottle.

Pours a clear, yellow color, topped with a small whie head that immediately disappears. A fruity and soury aroma, pretty basic. The taste is slightly fruity, but quite soury, lacks a bit of sweetness. But, the maker said it was a bad batch, so hopefully it will improve.

Bottle @ Midlands Tasting Group Aug 14, at Richie’s Hop Palace. Pours dark brown with tan head. Taste is slightly smokey bitter malts & dark chocolate. Not amazing.
