Tap at Tap B. Coppery-amber body, off-white head. Caramel blasts in the aroma at first, wormwood and butter. Medvedgrad Fakin at its worst was pretty much like this. Caramel, wormwood, touches of apricot, big bitterness. Oh come on... likely not fresh, but what's there shows a lack of balance that I doubt would have escaped the initial version... Shame, the other two beers showed promise and were quite nice. This, however, is a very sub-par IPA.

Tap at Tap B. Misty amber-brown body with an off-white head. Interesting, true to style aroma, caramel, raisins, dry, vinous. Creamy taste, malt-driven but fairly lean, grainy touches, light raisins, light and pretty easy-drinking. While not flashy, or the best alt in the world, it's definitely well made and it's cool to try a locally made altbier!

Keg at To Je To Caffe Bar, Split, 27/04/19. Rich amber with a decent beige head. Nose is malt forward, caramel, biscuit, sugars. Taste comprises toffee, stewed fruits, brown sugars, bready notes, caramel, faint orange. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Overly chewy and old skool like but also not so ipa like in many ways and more akin to a sweet gloopy strong. Sweet and unbalanced ... poured half of this onto the grass opposite.

Tap at Craft Room. Murky dark ruby, creamy, lasting tan head. Lookin' good! Spicy aroma, cinnamon, gingerbread, nice at first but as it warms a strange dusty/rubbery shows up. Mild taste, cinnamon-driven before taking an interesting nutty turn towards mild Speculoos, Cola-like for a second, vague touch of roast. Light-bodied for the ABV, drinkable, ending on a vague touch of hop and something only barely resembling bitterness. Not a bad beer really, but nothing terribly memorable.
