On tap at Hops! Beer & Food Factory, Friday 5th September 2025 after another walk from Camp Riviera Makarska. Pours yellow with a haze, large white head. Nose is a little polite but there's a light fruity edge and perhaps a little wheat. The taste is a bit more on the ball with banana and wheatiness, but best of all it's super refreshing and really hits the spot. Like this, only downside is that I do like a Hefeweisse in a Hefeweisse glass.

On tap at Hops Beer & Food Factory, Makarska, Croatia, Thursday 4th September 2025 after a short walk from our campsite on the edge of town. Pours hazy yellow/gold, with a small/mid sized white head. Great aroma, very tropical with nods to mango and perhaps there's a little pineapple also. More tropical with touches of citrus and less resinous than I'd have hoped for the style. Surprisingly lean and easy drinking for the abv, cannot believe it's 6.5%, it's very easy drinking.

On tap at Hops Beer & Food Factory, Makarska, Croatia, Thursday 4th September 2025 after a short walk from our campsite on the edge of town. Pours gold, good clarity, small/mid sized white head. Light fruitiness and hoppiness is subtle. Style wise this could offer a more crisp bite and perhaps a little more dryness, that said it's not too sweet, it's very drinkable and a decent beer.

Tap at Hops. Misty orange body, fairly white head. Fruity, estery, citric aroma, light cloves. Creamy soft taste, banana, grainy, bubblegum... Lightly too grainy for my tastes, but very tasty. Big props for this!

Tap at Hops! Pitch black body, beige head. Big sweetish vanilla-chocolate aroma, lovely. Lean, soft taste, cocoa & vanilla, grain, dark chocolate and cocoa puffs by the finish, ending dry and a big prickly. Seems sweetish at first, ends prickly, vaguely bitterish. Very good!

Tap at Hops. Misty orange body, off-white head. Citric, tangerine aroma, gummi bears, some herbs in the aroma. Lean, dryish taste, medium body, tropical-peachy and tea notes, before quickly going towards a good bitter-bitterish herbal finish, a bit prickly, bit grainy-oaty by the finish. Good stuff!

On tap at M Brothers Zagreb. Murky orange/golden coloured, medium sized white head, fresh citrusy nose. Malty, citrusy, light tropical fruits and mild herbal with moderate bitter finish. Quite nice and fresh.

Tap at Hops! Makarska. Slightly hazy golden body, off white head. Perfumey aroma, citrus fruits and wild herbs, lean tangerine mostly, pleasant. Lean taste, the leanest and the driest beer I've had from them actually, albeit with a teeny tiny touch of residual sweetness too. Lovely citric profile, gummi bears too, ending in a pleasant herbal bitterness. Actually a very good IPA, having Maskeron around definitely raised the quality of PMP beers I guess!
