On tap at Fakin Zagreb. Unclear orange/golden coloured, small white head, mild flowery nose. Moderate bitter herbal hoppy, slightly flowery and yeasty with light caramel notes. Pretty strong bitterness in the finish and aftertaste, even maybe too bitter but good brew.

Unclear, golden-orange colored, medium+ white frothy, quire lasting head. Aroma is quite spicy and herbal hoppy, bit malt and some yeast, bit citrus fruit. Taste is medium sweet pale malt, light caramel, medium+ spicy and herbal hoppy notes, fresh herbal hops, some yeast, strong & everlasting bitterness and ever-so dry. Medium bodied, average carbonation. Mellow bitterness but still too overpowering, maybe next year decrease a couple hundred IBUs and it could be the best Aurora single hop! (on tap, All In, Zagreb)

On tap at Makro Beer Fest in Maribor. Pours hazy yellow-golden, topped with a thin white head. Tropical fruit aroma with citruses. Malty backbone definitely there. Decent bitterness with biscuity back. Medium lasting aftertaste. Light, almost a bit watery which was the only bad thing. Fine one.

On tap @American Bar Dollar, Varaždin. Thick copper pour, two finger frothy off-white head. Pretty good retention, lots of lacing. Balanced nose, good malty chatacter with strong hop presence. Herbal. Medium to full body. Soft carbonation, medium intensity. Thick texture, oily palate. Bitter taste, nicely balanced, just the right amount. Very refreshing. Strong and intense hop aroma paired with medium caramel maltiness. Citrus fruits, grassy hops. Pine. Mint. Herbal, nicely peppery. Very dry mouthfeel. Herbal aftertaste. Long lasting finish, dry and bitter. Overall, very tasty. Rich aroma, balanced taste.... perfectly refreshing and highly drinkable. Excellent IPA.

On tap at Woody's. Misty golden body, whitr head. Weak but nice little soft aroma, bready touch, citric and flowery too. Taste...whoa. Er... Yeah. Aurora. And in a nice way aroma-wise, citrus, floweey herbal, earthy, with a huge, huge bitterness. The soft, relatively neutral malt background provides some respite from (and support to) the comparatively enormous bitterness. Though honestly, it's well integrated enough not to irritate as some technically far less bitter beers. Addictive stuff for us bitterness lovers. The aftertaste, herbal-bitter, lasts forever... This is the cleanest, by far, Nova Runda beer I've seen in ages, so props for that too. Glad to have tried, will likely do that again.
