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.

Jan. ’16. A 0.33 l bottle, thanks Marko! It poured hazy orange body with a tiny head. Hoppy aroma, orange, grapefruit, herbal dry. Pleasantly bitter flavor, with citrus, herbs, pine and a touch of tropical fruits. Light biscuit malt base behind gave some sweetness but it got kicked out by the powerful hops fast. Medium body with decent orange and dry herbal finish. Alcohol was extremely well hidden. A fine, clean and freshly bitter IPA. I would prefer more malt, but many wouldn’t so it doesn’t matter. So much better than the first batch, which I didn’t rate here, I knew Zmajska can do it as it should be done!
