Bottle picked up from Plodine supermarket Orebic, Pelješac peninsula Croatia and consumed at Camp Sunset 5km north of Primošten, Saturday 6th September 2025. Pours orangey with a large white head, lively pour, actually a very lively pour, good mouthfeel, soft but buzzy. Nice bitterness, there's a bretty edge, Loz picked up on this initially and yea she's bang on and wow does that elevate this to something different as aI guess that it wasn't intended. Other than that a little citrus and herbal notes.

Bottle picked up from Plodine supermarket Orebic, Pelješac peninsula, Croatia. Had this Thursday 4th September 2025 sat outside Frank at Camp Riviera Makarska. Pours hazy gold, very lively, overflowing a little on the pour, light yeasty nose, also some maltiness on the nose, there is a grainyness also it's a little sweetish. Not a bad beer by any stretch but overall fails to create much interest for me.
