17/04 A 0.33 l bottle, courtesy of ogivlado, thanks for giving away! It poured deep golden, amber body with smaller head. Crappy malty aroma, flowery, honey and vegetables with additional notes of alcohol and plastic as well. Flavor was slightly sweet malty as well, herbal hops were present but not enough to balance hefty 10% ABV body that unfortunately couldn’t offer any complexity, only some quite unpleasant stuff. Not really well executed, lot of off flavors and besides all, not really sure what they tried to make with this attempt. Could be a bad batch.

Ogi’s, shared with heavy and me. The one I was, perhaps, looking forward to the most out of their lineup. Poured a misty dark amber-golden body with a medium sized white head. The nose is immediately a letdown. Carrot, light alcohol and dust. Where are the hop aromas? The taste? Plastic, dust, light dogfood, light soap, sweet, carrot. Sweet too. Hop? What hop? Are they kidding? This is no IPA, not even close really. Even less an I2PA despite the ABV. If they called it Črnomelj Pale Ale or Lokve Pale Ale it might’ve made some sense, like this it just creates expectations that it doesn’t deliver upon. In essence, an entirely new recipe would do the trick. I would really like to taste their cider and wines in any case - I hear that they are better, and I hope they improve their beer recipes - I’m sure that they have the will and the means for that :). In any case, Ogi’s bringing another bottle of this to the next tasting, so we’ll see if this one was a fluke and will rerate it if it is.

brown plastic bottle 1500ml. -Light hazy yellow/golden coloured, small white head, grassy fruity nose. Malty, bready and a bit too waterywith notes of vegetables and short finish. Mild bitter aftertaste, easy drinkable but average.
