Ogi got this at the brewery and shared it with me (thanks!). Funny, but unintentionally so, with the bad English on the label and the concept in general. Poured a truly lovely misty full amber-red body with a small white head. Nose.... Some sticky maltiness... and oh no! Some carrot again. Damn. The taste is mild enough, empty even, the maltiness in the background is pleasant, though light, but those tiny notes of carrot keep on bugging me. Hm. Is this really top fermented? Dunno. There’s room for improvement - and it’s really great to hear that the brewer is keen on doing just that with his beers!

Ogi got these at the brewery and shared them with me, huge thanks! Plastic bottle (1.5l? didn’t check really).... apparently the owner didn’t like it so much he put it into plastic despite having a distaste for beer in plastic. And yes, quite rightly so. Slightly hazy golden-yellow body with a medium sized head. Compote... cooked fruit aroma, and yet I can’t pinpoint which one... full, fruity dusty, not particularly nice not bad. The taste, however, lands smack among the lower-tier average of Slovenian micro pale lagers. Bitterish carrot/beet notes, a surefire way to ruin the beer for me, actually quite strong bitterness for a pale lager, but it fails to appeal in any way. Watery, smooth but just flawed. Finishes slightly bready, but in a cheap white bread way. If it’s true that the owner won’t brew it again -> a great move and good riddance!
