Pours a bit hazy golden, topped with medium small white head. Fruity nose with bubble gum and citruses. Sparkly texture, light body. A bit of sweetness, medium grassy bitterness and slight soury feel. Pretty decent.

Tap at Craft Beer To Go. Seems to be the only place to have it - but they have delivery, so there you go. Murky apricot body. Fruity soft citric hoppy aroma, quite spot-on. The taste is quite mild, soft but full, the hoppiness is there, but it's a bit subdued, around the edges really. Almost no bitterness. Solid beer, mind you, their best so far without a doubt, there's room for improvement, but I'd try it again.

Bottled 330ml. -from www.beershop.hr Almost clear amber coloured, medium sized off-white head, mild malty nose. Sweetish malty, light caramel, mild herbal hoppy and touch of spices with short dryish finish. Drinkable but nothing special here.

Bottled, batch 2 (thanks Vran for sharing!) Interesting to see these reviews (not Hrabren's) after not hearing that much positive about batch 1 from geeks, brewers and judges. Dark amber-brown body with an off whtie head. Heavy malty roma, light berry notes. Jammy taste, somewhat esetry, dry, and watery. Not a Pale Ale of any kind. American it's not, English it's not. Solid amber ale though. Will try again, both 1 and when 3 comes out if it comes out.

0.33 l bottle. Thanks to the owner of Koš (Basket) Bar in Središće, Zagreb who gave it to Višnja and thanks to Višnja for sharing. Murky dark golden to brownish, small to medium off-white head. Lightly hopped, malty. Fruity, some leaves, some dried fruits or red fruit jam. Light dry. Light to medium body. Moderate carbonation. A bit harsh. Light finish. Not bad.

Bottle, 0.33l. Hazy amber/brown pour with one finger frothy off-white head. Long lasting, excellent retention, leaving some nice and thick lacing on the glass. Good herbal notes on the nose, nicely balanced with good hop profile. Thin to medium body, soft carbonation. Smooth on the palate, very easy drinking. Taste is pleasantly bitter, a bit higher then expected, very refreshing. Aroma is well balanced, nice hoppines and good malty backbone. Some caramel malts, slight breadiness. Good herbal notes, grassy, peppery. Nice citrus aroma in the aftertaste, bitter orange and grapefruit notes. Well hidden alcohol. Drying mouthfeel followed by long lasting bitter finish. Overall, pretty good brew. Tasty and well balanced. Good one.

Oct. ’16. A 0.33 l bottle at Leopold’s, Split. It poured a hazy golden body with medium sized head. Fruity aroma, lightly herbal hoppy, yeast and biscuit malt. Flavor was very lightly bitter, then chalky, fruity passing onto the sweet palette ending with some biscuit or banana. Medium bodied with moderately long finish, but leaves thinner impression since it was quite simple. Okay blonde ale, simple and mediocre in its own mediocre style, nothing more, nothing less. Didn’t meet my expectations, had quite high hopes of it.

Bottled. An unclear golden Beer with a huge White Head. The aroma has notes of hops and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, spices, hops, and malt leading to a bitter finish.
