Pours black, topped with larger beige foamy head. Nice tropical fruity aroma with maltiness in teh back - notes of chocolate, cereal, biscuits and roastiness. Solid hoppy bitterness upfront, mild sweetness with some alcohol warmth and slightly peppery finish. Lasting aftertaste and creamy body. Proper BIPA.

On tap at Craft Room Zagreb. Slightly unclean golden coloured, medium sized white to off-white head, citrusy nose. Sweetish malty, citrusy and herbal hoppy, notes of cereals and dry bitterish finish. No any winter character here but neverless this is quite pleasant brew.

On tap at Craft Room Zagreb. Amber/brownish coloured, medium sized creamy pale beige head, caramel in the nose. Sweet malty, caramel, chestnut honey, slightly spicy and some odd burnt touch in the finish. Nothing more nothing less than ok.

Bottle, 0.50l. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, passion fruit, pineapple and hay. Murky clay-like color with large frothy white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts light sweet grainy and yeasty, following is grassy and mild fruity, while finish is moderate bitter. Light body, thin texture and lively carbonation in palate. Mass market crafty session ale...

Tap at Craft Room. Full golden body with a thick, lasting white head. Nice little aroma, fresh and hoppy, tropical and herbal with a soft oat presence too. Clean taste mixing oats that are fairly prominent in the background, with that same light tropical/citric/herbal hopiness, joined by a medium-level body. Low herbal finish, bitterish. Absolutely nothing wrong with this beer, it's just what it says it is, without important flaws, enjoyable. Maybe with a slightly more interesting/full hoppiness it would be a true classic of the "substyle", but it works like this too.

On tap at Craft Room, Opatovina, Zagreb. Tasting with Marko Ožegović. Ruby red, small off-white head. Toasted malts, burnt, light toffee, lightly spicy, not perfectly clean. Dry, spicy, harsh, some honey evolves. Light body, smooth texture, moderately lasting dry finish. Spicy character subdued due to harsh burnt aromas and flavours.

Tap at Craft Room. Misty brownish body, scant head. Distinct chestnut honey notes show up in the aroma, blending with some toasty notes, perhaps from the malts, perhaps from chestnuts, unsure, but I'd vote for the former rather than the latter. The body is subsequently slightly lighter than expected, drier, and chestnut honey rules it without anything else showing up really. In the end a herbal bitterish note starts building up to counter it, but doesn't manage to avoid a slight clash. Okay beer, but in essence, the honey overpowered everything else, and while it's thankfully not as sweet as those beers can be, if you're not a fan of chestnut honey, and I'm not that big a fan myself, you won't enjoy it much.

Pours dark brown and topped with medium sized beige head. Gentle malty nose with honey and biscuits, followed by nuts and herbs, later on more noticeable fruity hoppy nose. Solid bitterness, quite herbal in character, some honey presence and earthy chestnut feel as well. Medium aftertaste. Not a bad one.
