On tap at the brewpub in Bovec. Pours very hazy, fiery orange-golden, topped with a larger, creamy white head that slowly settles down. Solid hoppy aroma, lots of tropical fruits, mostly peaches and mango. Medium bitterness, slightly herbal and getting sharper. Slightly peppery aftertaste. Medium bodied. Not bad, though would still need a bit more balance.

On tap at the brewpub in Bovec. Pours dark chestnut brown, topped with larger and just slightly offwhite head, pretty lasting. Extra strong roasted coffee aroma and nothing else. SOme milder hoppy bitterness upfront with lots of roasted coffee covering it. Medium body and shorter aftertaste. Don't really like coffee at all, so this one is not for me. Too intense coffee character.

On tap the the brewpub in Bovec. Pours very hazy, shinny red-amber colour, topped with a medium sized and pretty lasting white head. Cereal, bready and quite soy aroma with just a hint of peach in the back. Has somewhat stale feel about it. Milder bitterness with some fruitiness and peppery finish. Quite sparkly, lighter body. Not really a pleasant nose, but not a bad beer.

On tap at brewpub in Bovec. Pours slightly hazy amber coloured, topped with a larger and nicely lasting white head. Strong and intense fresh hoppy aroma, fresh cut grass, almost hemp quality. Medium bitterness is quite the contrast to the aroma, especially with slight fruity sweetness to accompany it. Shorter aftertaste. Lighter bodied. Not the best nose, but the taste makes up for it.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours almost clear golden colour, topped with a smaller white head, pretty quickly disappearing. Gentle spicy nose with some wheatiness and a hint of citruses. Gentle spicy start, followed by equally gentle bitterness. Slightly peppery finish. Light, gentle saison character but very refreshing.

Unclear, amber colored, medium off white head. Aroma is of some malt, bit caramel, moderate fruity and citrusy hops. Taste is medium sweet malt, caramel, moderate citrus and fruity hoppy mix, medium bitterness, dry finish, some phenolic notes unfortunately. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, oily. Would be much better without the phenols but still OK. (on tap, brewery taproom, Bovec)

Unclear, golden-amber colored, medium creamy white head. Aroma is of some malt, fruity and citrusy hops but a lot of phenolic coming out. Taste is medium sweet malt, bit biscuit, moderate- fruity and citrusy hops but again phenolic notes totally overpower everything, astringent bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. This one has to be repeated as this batch is not as it should be...
