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!!!!

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.

On tap @American bar Dollar, Varaždin. Hazy copper body with one finger frothy off-white head. Nicely balanced nose, malty, hoppy, slightly herbal. Thin to medium body, average carbonation. Light texture, very easy drinking. Mildly bitter taste, slight tartness showing up later on. Dry mouthfeel. Aroma medium malty, medium hoppy. Grassy and herbal notes, slight honey, a bit peppery. Finishes dry with lasting mild bitterness. Overall, refreshing and easy drinking. Good one, perhaps lacking in body a bit.
