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 at Legend Rider’. Misty red-amber body with a big, slightly off white head. Light herbal, flowery aroma, getting more herbal by the minute in a rough way. Taste.... lovely soft, full maltiness serving superbly as the backbone, bearing a herbal, only slightly citric hoppiness, getting rough herbal-wise again, maquis? Lightly flowery. Nice, very nice, Comet won’t become my favorite hop any time soon, but this is impeccably executed for what it is.

On tap, multiple locations, multiple batches. Rating the last batch which I had couple a days ago. Pours hazy orange, dense creamy off-white head. Quite hoppy, citrus, fruity, malty, just a bit sweetish, lasting bitter finish. Very creamy and smooth. Medium bodied. I preferred the first batch which had some more bitterness kick to it, also some more aroma would be nice. Better than last few batches which were more on the sweetish side. Very good job.

Jeg fortsatte min beer hunting expedition i Split på Leopold’s Delicatessen, og fikk denne som godt tilmålt smaksprøve. Den hyggelige bartenderen hadde gledet seg til å få den inn igjen etter seks ukers kranfravær, og han var like skuffet som meg. Flat, dårlig karbonert og bare en blek skygge av Nova Runda APA som jeg nettoppp hadde drukket. Smaks-og aromainntrykkene antydet at dette egentlig er en riktig god øl, så her må bryggeriets kvalitetskontroll sviktet.

Jeg fortsatte min beer hunting expedition i Split på Leopold’s Delicatessen, og det første fatølet her var desidert det beste så langt i denne ferien. Uklar gylden med ok skum. Nydelig apa-aroma med granskudd, fersken og tropiske frukter. Smaken er deilig, myk og balansert. Lekker bitterhet i ettersmaken.
