Description
We focus our attention on brewing rustic, unfiltered, aromatic beers that are approachable and unique. We pull from our home brewing background to build beers that pay homage to tradition, but break new ground in American brewing techniques and flavors by blurring the line between beer and wine. We are brewers of big ideas in very small batches.

Romans are citrus, resin, sulfur and malt. Flavors are similar to nose, add in a bit of bell pepper maybe jalapeno. Slightly dry with good body and carbonation. Pretty decent overall.

Хорошее свежее пиво, нету ничиго необычного, немного сена словно, на финише есть хмель цитрусовый.

Bottle pours clear golden medium white head.Good lacing. Aroma is Santa bugs, lemon, a hint of dust, light oak, a slightly vinous note. Flavor is quite interesting light plus tart light plus funk.A fair amount of citric acid. But then, white grapes and almost a smoky oak. There is a faint acetone whiff when you first let it breathe. Medium body.

Bottled 750ml. -at Ambasada Zagreb. According to my Excell notes this one is my 20000th beer. Disparity between my notes and Brewver appear because of transfering and batcing issues on the relation Ratebeer-Brewver.
Now about the beer. Golden coloured, small off-white head, Agave and lime in the nose. Strong agave, noticable lime, light yeasty and bit spicy with notes of barrel. Tartish finish. Moderate carbonation, refreshing. Well done.
