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!!!!

Can that we picked up from Ambasada, Zagreb last month. Had this Friday 3rd October listening to Afrodeutscha on 6Music. We had Pan fried Pumpkin Gnocchi with Peas in a Creamy Tarragon Sauce. Pours gold with a mid sized white head, there is a little haze. Light hoppiness on the nose with a streaky waft of citrus also coming through. Nicely bitter, the flavour is citrussy, however there's a little herbal thing going on and a little honey in the background providing some balance. The finish is moderately dry. Nice beer but interest in this tails off after a while.

Canned 500ml. -at Goblet Zagreb with Hrabren & Marko. Murky orange coloured, small off-white head, guava in the nose. Strong guava, discreet papaya, low carbonation and light tropical touch with sweetish finish. Let's say useless.

Can at Goblet ZG, with Hrabren and Ogi. Murky salmon towards golden (somehow) body, off-white head. Guava-driven aroma, not much papaya, bit lactic. Guava-driven taste, traces of papaya at best, bit lactic again, sourish, vague maltiness. Meh. I mean, I'm glad to support Nova Runda, but I'm really not glad to pay 6.8€ for a beer like this.

Tap at the Goblet Stupnička closing party. Hazy golden body, white head. Floral, grainy aroma, NZ herbs, pine, resin, bit citric, minerally. Grainy maltiness, minerally, spruce, oily, herbal notes, light citric touches... hooh, didn't thrill me really, surprised me in fact, the hoppiness is ine in the aroma, but the taste and the body were a bit fumbled.
