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!!!!

Aug. ’15. On tap at Hmeljevo festival, Split. This one turned out to be a hard nut to find, at least before. It poured a hazy brown body with tiny head atop. Pleasantly roasted malt with decent amount of hops in aroma. Coffee and herbal basically. Lightly bitter flavor, orange (citrus) hops and roasted coffee, caramel and dark fruit malt. Medium to thin in body with not so long finish, but very smooth and balanced. Dark chocolate picked up in the aftertaste. I would prefer more body, but it’s a fine hoppy brown ale anyway.

Aug. ’15. On tap at Leopold’s, Split. I thought this one was brewed in Montenegro, at least I’ve been told so. Anyway, it poured very dark, almost black body with medium sized brown head. Aroma was quite weak, roasted malt, strong mineral water, lightly on the sweeter side. Flavor was shifted a bit to the bitter side, roasted elegantly with coffee smoothed with cocoa, dark fruits etc. A bit yeasty as it got warmed. Thin to medium body with a nice chocolate malt emerging in its finish. Very pleasant, just I would prefer more body.

Had this every time I visited Renaissance Fair in Koprivnica (Nettlevile), Croatia. Drank from a ceramic renaissance style mug. Very dark brown, lasting creamy off-white head. Dark malts, nutty, lightly roasty, slightly metallic. Dry and light tart from roasted malts. Very soft texture. Light to medium body, soft carbonation, light finish. Drinkable. No nettle or herbal character. Great texture and flavours.
