Tap at Beerdello apparently, where this escaped to somehow. Lightly hazy pale yellow-golden body, white head. Vaguely citric, herbal, even grape hoppy aroma, light grainy touch, simpler than the description might indicate. Soft, lean, light body, helping drinkability a heap. Slightly odd peanut corn flips/Smoki maltiness, soft light, mildly citric, herbal, nicely integrated hoppiness. This is a good one, a very serviceable pils, southern Bavarian in style (so not really a pils), with a slightly unusual malt profile.

On tap @Biergarten Varaždin. Hazy orange pour, no head, thin white layer on top. Ok on the nose, grassy and fruity notes, nicely balanced. Citrus peel in the background combined with some grape notes.

Light body, medium carbonation, lively. Average mouthfeel and texture, lightweight, fizzy, easily drinkable. Balanced bittersweet taste. Aroma of grains, wet grass, herbs. Citrus peel, grapes. Light veggie notes, oniony. Some yeasty notes in the background. Short lasting finish, quite dry, lingering bitterness.

Not great but decent enough.

Tap at HHP 2025. Hazy golden body, off-white head. Resinous, earthy aroma, mild veggie touches. Medium body, dryish, mostly resin and veggie, lightly dank notes. Eh, not happy.

Bottle shared at work. Mediocre stout with none to low coffee presence. Not faulty or anything, just painfully uninteresting.

Bottle at home, courtesy of Marko, thanks a lot! Pours jet black with beige, quickly disappearing head. Nose is dark chocolate, coffee, roasted malts. Taste is low coffee and earthy notes then an overwhelming spicy character kicks in, leaving no space for anything else really. Long spicy finish, light, almost watery body, soft carbonation.

Bottle shared at work. Black pour, beige head. Nose is roasted, earthy notes, taste is coffee, earthy notes, some dark chocolate. Your basic easy drinking stout, but with warming it opens up nicely.
