Description
Zmajska pivovara rodila se iz strasti prema vrhunskom pivu i iz dugogodišnjega iskustva u kućnom pivarstvu. Željeli smo napraviti razliku s inovativnim i drugačijim pivima kakva donedavno nisu bila dostupna u lokalnoj ponudi. Svako naše pivo, bez obzira na stil kojemu pripada, iskreno je, prepoznatljivo i beskompromisno u kvaliteti.

Kao prva nezavisna pivovara u Hrvatskoj i jedni od začetnika naše craft scene, smatramo da naša odgovornost ne staje na proizvodnji i isporuci piva.
Želimo svim pivoljupcima objasniti magiju nastajanja piva, važnost kvalitete sastojaka i približiti bezbrojne kombinacije okusa i aroma. Nadamo se da naša Zmajska posla i uspijevaju u tome, a svaki HomeBrew Lab koji organiziramo ponudi nam paletu jako dobrih uradaka. Craft je za nas prijateljstvo i način života. I još puno toga... za što teško nalazimo riječi. Ali pokušavamo to preciznije izraziti našim festivalom craft piva i muzike Zmajevo.

On tap at Zmajska Pivovara, Zagreb Friday 29th August 2025 after a 6-7 hour drive from home. Pours light gold, slim white head, light bitterness, easy drinking, absolutely fine but if it's aiming for German style Pils it could be a bit dryer and more crisp.

Can, 0.5l. Murky orange pour, three finger frothy white head, short lasting, minimal lacing on the glass. Fruity on the nose, mango and coconut, citrus in the background. Refreshing.

Medium body, soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, soft, silky, lightweight. Light stickiness. Easily drinkable. Balanced sweet and sour taste, not as sour as I expected. Aroma of mango, pineapple, coconut. Citrus, yeasty notes, light tart. Lactose, fruit yoghurt, candy. Short to medium lasting finish, sweet and juicy.

A bit on the sweet side for a sour but tasty nonetheless.

0.5l can. Opaque golden body with a white head. Aroma and taste of grape must, grapefruit, grass and some pine. A bit weak bodied, but it's kind of expected from such a session beer. Nice one.
