A nitro can at Valhalla Viking Metal Craft Beer Pub, Zagreb. Dark brown to black, medium to large creamy tan head. Aroma is lightly toasty and burnt, flavour is roasty, nutty with a hint of prunes. Very thin, soft, drinkable, although slightly cloying. Minimal bitterness, light dry finish. Classy.

Can via Cups & Mugs. Medium body, medium carbonation. Fully malty, with nice rich character, moderate chocolatey, coffeeish, light ashy and caramelly. Pleasant mix. Easy drinking, very nice.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Ticked on Wednesday, BB 28/10/2024. Shared with Hana, who rightly was even less thrilled than me. But hey, Fila gave me a discount as it was garbage and the last one so yay! To be rerated fresh if possible. Murky orange-golden body, off-white head. Peachy oxidized aroma, some raisins, dusty, light maltiness. White grapes in the stale, creamy taste, lightly oxidized, gummy, fruity, some alcohol notes breaking through, vague fusels perhaps. Hard to drink even though some notes are still nites, alcohol is there, but just the shitty taste, no warmth. The yeast profile seems to have been fine, the rest is either dead or sub par right now.

A very light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin pale malts but, clean and delivering enough sweetness. Strata hops bring light pine, light but bright tropical fruits. A pleasing peachy mango, just a trace of passion fruit. Crisp piney finish. Juicy if thin tropical fruit linger. Nice job, impressed with the 2 O'Hara's I've quaffed recently, bright and clean. If they could just dial up the hop intensity without losing the brightness, well I just might need to move to Eire!
