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.

Can that we picked up directly from the brewery (Marko recommended visiting Zmajska). Had this Friday 13th February at the Manglham 2nd Winter Tasting listening to Natural Magic - II . Jonas is cooking Pasta Carbonara. Pours dirty purple/red with a fast disappearing head. Smooth, fruity with a careful sourness i.e. this is one of this style that's right up my straße. Juicy, almost a creaminess. Good. Score 7.6

0.5 l can. Thick dark brown, brown head. Aroma is intense cocoa at first, dark chocolate followed by molasses and chared wood. Hints of black pepper and ethanol. After it opens up a little bit hints of dried fruit appear and quite some black cherry. A touch of nougat and toffee with an alcohol-soaked cherry. Full body, sticky, sweet but cocoa trying to dry it out, some bitter astringency in the back, afterwards lots of warmth and peppery ethanol. Flavour is mostly cocoa and chocolate, roasty and toasty notes. Finishes medium dry.
