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!!!!

Hazy, yellow-orange colored, small+ white frothy head, not that lasting. Aroma is quite juicy, tropical fruit, stone fruit, some citrus, some malt and light caramel. Taste is medium+ sweet malt, quite light caramel, lots of tropical and stone fruits, some citrus and herbal notes, medium(+) bitterness, dryish finish. Medium+ bodied, soft carbonation, oily. A bit sweet but goes well with fruitiness, expected killer bitterness from Nova Runda but this is actually pretty mellow :p (on tap, Hop In, Zagreb)

On tap at the 6th Croatian homebrew competition. Murky ochre body with a thick white head. Whooo, a blast of citric, herbal and dank generally notes in the aroma.... in the taste they are joined by dominant onion notes, a touch of sweetness later on (not too much), and very, very light alcohol for the ABV. Fine enough, but expected it to be more full for some reason. Excellent, but not perfect. In any case, can’t wait to retry it in more sober conditions for a rerate.
