Quick notes, draft; no typical hazy appearance as you expect from NEIPA, moderate fruity aroma with tropical fruits suggesting at pineapple, papaya, hints of stone fruits, mild floral honey, notes of earth, grass & herbs, subtle bread dough & citruses

Bottle, 0.33l. Hazy copper pour, two finger frothy white head. Long lasting, very good retention. Thick lacing on the glass. Not so hot on the nose, quite grainy with yeast and stale wet grass notes. Thin body, medium carbonation, somewhat fizzy. Bitter taste, slightly harsh and out of place. Aroma of caramel, yeast, grass and grains. Dusty. Metal. Lingering harsh bitter aftertaste dominates the palate. Short finish, bitter and dry. Not something I'd go back to. Mediocre and unbalanced.

Tap, Kralj Matjaž, Novo mesto. Dark, dirty brown, smaller beige head, not so lasting. Pretty roasted, coffee nose. Taste follows, roasted with milder bitterness. Gentler but lasting roasty aftertaste. Lighter body. Not too shaby.

On tap @ Velikonočni Beerfest lzola. Aroma of yeast, banana, coriander, white wine and herbs. Pours hazy pale golden color with rocky white head and soft visible carbonation. Tastes light sweet and sour grainy, citrusy, yeasty, a bit sweaty, grassy, phenolic and mild spicy. Light to medium body, thin texture and lively carbonation in palate. Nothing special...
