33cl bottle courtesy of and shared with Tderoeck and 77ships. BB 22/06/2015, this is no saison, let it be known. Léger trouble, col blanc-cassé. Arôme au bouquet léger sur la levure, cette dernière restant assez belge, pointe ester et un léger rétro houblonné noble sur un malté cara et pils. Palais est malté, caramel assez présent, pâle, houblonné noble laissant sortir de fines notes fleuries, un peu trop doux à mon goût et trop devant sur les malts. Bière de style belge, oui, de là à utiliser cela comme saison, non!

22/V/15 - 33cl bottle from a trade @ Brazilian Tasting (home) - BB: 22/VI/15 (2015-664) Thanks to markoijelena for the trade!
Clear copper orange beer, aery white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: malty, bit oxidized, caramel, sweet. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: pretty oxidized, bitter, very malty, some citrus. Aftertaste: caramel, sweet malts. Meh. Definitely not a saison. Maybe a bit like a bad Palm or Dekoninck beer.

Dec ’14. A 0.33 l bottle courtesy of Marko, great thanks for sharing! This one poured hazy orange body with medium sized head. Very nice, style-typical aroma, orange and some other herbal hops balanced with sweet biscuit malt. Flavor was more or less the same, not too bitter, hops were subdued with some fine toasty malts, including caramel which is not usually seen in the IPAs. Medium bodied, smooth mouthfeel. Lightly sweeter finish pronounced more of its fine and interesting malt, lasted for long. A very nice beer from Sabaja!

Dec ’14. A 0.33 l bottle courtesy of Marko, great thanks for sharing! Opened with a loud pop and poured hazy golden body with a big head. Lightly salty, some very light hops and honey malt in aroma. Weak, but fine flavor, lightly bitter, herbal and lemony with weak malt counterpart, opposite of the nose. Thin with shorter papery finish. A bit empty and, at times boring but fine ale, quite elegant.

Ein IPA darf bei einer Craft-Brauerei natürlich nicht fehlen. Es ist ein guter Vertreter mit einem feinen hopfigen Geschmack, der gut in das Gesamtbild passt. Kann man sehr gut trinken.

Das Session Pale Ale ist das Aushängeschild der kleinen Craft-Brauerei, das man entweder vom Faß und auch in der Stubbi-Flasche bekommt. Im Einstieg etwas zu bitter, im Körper lässt es nach, aber am Schluss bleibt ein lang anhaltender angenehmer, nicht zu hopfiger Geschmack. Kann es nur empfehlen.

Bei den vielen Leuten die während des Krieges nach Amerika geflüchtet sind, ist es gar nicht so abwegig, wenn ein Rückkerer die amerikanische Craftbeer-Bewegung in den Kosovo bringt. Geschmacklich vielleicht noch nicht auf dem extrem hohen Niveau wie in den Staaten, aber durchaus äußerst schmackhaft. Das Bier wird gerne auch von der Politprominenz von Pristina getrunken und wird auch gerne amerikanischen Gästen kredenzt.
