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!!!!

Tap at Prague Beer Fest. Not very juicy, but a worthy hoppy pilsner, grassy as well as piney, citrusy. Clean, easy drinking.

Med bod, med carbo. Med bitter, light sweet. Takes a few sips to reveal the zealand. Not in your face, rather med-light intensity, classic flowery grapey goodness, could use more though. Background malt and feels a bit oldish.

Med-full bod, med-light carbo. Med bitter, med sweet, feels a bit out of balance, too juicy, too fruity, but in a fruit way, not hoppy. Does not feel hoppy. Lots of stone fruits, light tropical. Probably a load of weird hops products inside. Goodish.

Tap at 7°, thx Zhenya! Golden body, off-white head. Spicy, creamy phenolic aroma, light citrusy touches, some fruitiness initially but gone soon. Similar taste, herbal, spicy, some phenolic pepper, low fruitiness... The yeast didn't do well here....
