Description
Pioneers of craft brewing in Croatia! Like Americas breweries, we started craft beer revolution in Croatia, because we want to refresh beer offer in Croatian market. Currently, customers can only buy boring domestic Euro lagers - but not for long!!

As awarded homebrewers, we are passionate about our ales, and we would like to give opportunity to Croatian consumers to enjoy in our beers. Making beers because of quality and flavor, and not because of the cash flow :). Our portfolio will be from cask ales to craft kegs!

Let's start together - Croatian craft beer revolution!!!!

Tap at Goblet ZG. Murky golden body, off-white head. Orange, tangerine and some herbs in the juicy, lightly chalky aroma. Lean, dry taste, some low tangerine and herbs, bit chalky, with an out of place stone fruit note. Bit underwhelming after the last few beers of theirs.

0.5l can, thx Hrabren for sharing! Murky golden body, off-white fleeting thick head. Citrusy, lemony notes mixed with stone fruit. Lean, dry taste, bit floral, some lemony notes, stone fruity, brown sugar touches, medium body, finishes dry but with less bitterness than expected. Not too Riwakaish or Talusish, it's just a blend of assorted fruits and low herbs hop-wise, with a juicy enough body. Decent by all means!

Can, thx Ogi for sharing with Hrabren and me! Murky smoothie purple body, messy. Blackberry-blueberry aroma. Smoothie taste, bit funky, matches, okay blueberry-blackberry, lacking sweetness - as it it started/continued fermenting a bit more than it should have. Okay.

Can, thx Ogi for sharing! Dark, oxidized brownish salmon body, no head really. Bit fishy guava and papaya in the aroma. Smoothie taste, guava going towards matches, bitterish, some sweet papaya countering it. No, this just doesn't work, at all. Something went the wrong way here...
