On tap at Craft Room, pours a hazy copper orange with a huge foamy white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, light metallic notes and biscuity malt. Flavour is big on the chewy resinous hops, with a sweet caramel malt to back. Chewy and creamy on the mouthfeel. Very good.

Tap at Craft Room. Full golden-amber body, hazy, with a creamy white head. Hop-forward aroma, full and fruity, some herbal touches on a sweetish caramelly background. Fruity, peachy and tropical hoppiness, creamy full malty body, without being excessive, solid bitterness, herbal in profile, going into a soft finish. Not as thrilling as the Imperial at first, but a very, very good go at the style nonetheless!

Golden color, with a small white head. The aroma is fruity hoppy, citrus, grapefruit. Taste is malty, with again the fruity notes of the hops. Medium bitterness, very well balanced and enjoyable. Medium carbonation. Very easy to drink, you would drink more and more. Nice beer.

Bottle, 0.5l. Hazy copper pour, one finger frothy off-white head. Medium retention, lots of lacing on the glass. Lovely nose, bursting with hops. Herbal and citrus notes, slight pine. Some grassiness. Medium to full body. Medium carbonation, thick and smooth texture. Well balanced bitter taste, strong hop aroma with solid malty backbone. Mango, citrus fruit. Pine. Herbal liquor spiciness. Grassy. Bitterness builds up with every sip, very nice. Drying mouthfeel, hint of alcohol. Long finish, dry and hoppy. Overall, awesome brew. Rich, balanced and very tasty. Best beer by LAB Split so far, well done.

On tap at Zagreb Craft Beer Week. Hazy orange, huge hoppy tropical fruit on nose. Mango! Sweet middle, smooth, medium bitterness. Medium bodied. Maybe a bit too sweet for my taste, but really good beer. Biggest surprise of the festival.

On tap at Zabreb Craft Beer Weekend 2017. Unclear golden coloured, medium sized white head, fruity flowery nose with whiff of alcohol. Moderate malty, citrusy fruity, light herbal hoppy and noticable but balanced alcohol with notes of tropical fruits in the finish. Really pleasant surprise.

Dec. ’16. On tap at Leopold's, Split. It poured a hazy reddish-copper body with medium sized ivory head. Caramel aroma, some biscuit, fine malty with light estery orange-banana note mixed with light citrus and herbal hops. Fresh, just like the flavor, which was lightly bitter and same so sweet. Caramel, dry biscuit, grainy bread, some grass and pine notes. Medium to light body with a fine, long dry herbal finish. On the lighter side, but a quite fine, especially in the nose and well within the style. Guess it still needs to be fresh to be fully appreciated.
