On tap at Valhalla. Misty amber body, lasting off white head. Malty and mild aroma, light light herbal touches, maaybe some chestnut though I would never have picked it out if I didn't know it was there. Same taste, Clean, nice maltiness, slightly on the sweetish side, full, without being cloying. Strange citrus/herbal note (there's only Magnum, and if it's that, it's the best tasting Magnum I've seen in a while). Bit perfumey/herbal, sliiightly soapy. Tasty in a way and interesting... but more interesting than tasty. Not sure they'll be repeating this experiment, but I'm glad to have tried it.

On tap at Craft Room, Zagreb. Pours hazy golden, medium creamy white head. Good lacing. Short lasting flowery hoppy aroma. Herbal. Straight forward strong dry bitter finish. Medium bodied. Not much going on except bitterness in finish. Interesting experiment, but frankly I see no point in brews like this.

On tap at Hop In, Kanal, Zagreb in summer of 2017. Shared with lovely Anja. Murky golden, small off-white head. Moderately to heavily hopped, fruity, tropical aroma, resiny. Light bitterness. Light body, soft to moderate carbonation, intense dry finish. Refreshing. When the hop aromas developed, it turned out great. Lovely finish!

I had the first batch of this one ever, while it was still a homebrew, at Šibenik students' club in Zagreb. I didn't rate it then and I missed it until the summer of 2017, when it was on tap at Hop In Craft Bar, Kanal, Zagreb when it had some trouble with phenols. Tasted again in December 2017 at Horvati bar, Horvati, Zagreb (as Zimski učenjak, Winter Scholar, slightly changed recipe). Hazy golden to dark golden, small to a medium off-white head. Moderately hoppy, citrus aromas. Quite bitter. Light body, soft to moderate carbonation, dry finish.
