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.

0.33 l bottle. Thanks, Višnja 666 and Pilot Goran! Black with a red tint, lasting head. Roast-hop balance, citrus hops, liquorice, light alcohol, fruit. Bitter with a nice balance. Full body, medium carbonation, excellent finish - hoppy with a background sweetness. Very good, almost impressive.

Bottled 500ml. -from Primož Ljubljana. Unclear pale golden coloured, medium sized airy white head, mild hoppy nose. Light malty, fruity hoppy, notes of citrus and light herbs with mild bitterness in the finish. Pleasant but a bit too light.

Orange colored, cloudy, medium white frothy head. Aroma is of some grainy malt, spicy and yeasty mostly, some tropical fruit and bit citrus. Taste is medium sweet malt, again grainy, spicy and yeasty with some light to medium tropical fruity notes, only a bit juicy fruit, medium bitterness, dry finish. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Too grainy and yeasty, not juicy enough. (on tap, Craft Room, Zagreb)

0.5 l bottle bought at Ljubljana Beer and Burger Festival. Shared with Višnja666! Opaque golden, lots of sediment, small white or off-white head. Light hoppy, malty, and buttery. Light bitter and bready. Light body, soft carbonation, abrupt finish. Not bad, a bit off maybe.
