Tap at Drinkoteka. Clear golden body, off-white head. Oily aroma, terpenes, petrol notes, NZ herbal notes, huh, kinda impressive, though not entirely my style. Enormous Riwaka in the taste as well, NZ herbs, grapes, ending with a big herbal bitterness, all very well balanced. Just lovely, better than the sum of its parts!

Tap at Bombovar. Lots of weed aroma and flavour. Truly a weed lager. Little else to be found here, med-thin body, medium carbo. High bitterness, light sweetness. Very dank. Made for true weed lovers. Which I am not. Good but not great.

0.5 l can, thanks to Marko, who brought it from Prague, shared with Mausica, little Dina and Prof. Prezbelewsky. Hazy orange, small head. Lightly citrusy aroma, orange one-sided but fresh. Light body, sweet orange candy flavour. Light bitterness. Thin, light, dry finish.

0.5 l can thanks to Marko, shared with Mausica and prof. Prezbelewsky. Clear golden, small off-white head. Aroma is malty, grainy, fruity, citrusy and lightly herbal. Slightly soft and too smooth, sweet. Flavour is stone fruit, tropical fruit, citrus and caramel. Light bitter finish.

On tap. Clear yellow body with a dense white head. Aroma and taste of grapefruit, elderflower, pine, lemon grind, sugar syrup and hay. It has a nice bitter finish and a creamy texture. Very nice IPA.
gave a cheers!

Tap at PBF. Rather thin, but not feeling watery. Lots of hops character, dank, citrusy. Background malt. Very easy drinking, clean, very good.

This was pretty decent APA. Easy drinking. Crispy. Refreshing. One can have more over night

Can, brought from Bratislava by Rafa. Lightly hazy golden body, pretty big, thick, fluffy off-white head. Huge, juicy perfumey sweet stone fruit. Lean, dry, bitterish taste, floral, some initial onion, citric touches, herbal, dy and bitterish, along with a unusual, lightly yeasty, smooth and sweetish touch by the finish, light malty touch.. Unusual, yet more than solid.

Can. You know, the whole total vs. unique tick thing threw a huge wrench into my 20K. I don't feel it counts till I get 20k uniques, and yet, it'll show I'll be above 20K with this one. Some bad timing left me with some less than perfect choices when it comes to my 20K beer - some great breweries, some brewed by friends. If it wasn't something extremely fancy, it was bound to be a lager - lacking something extremely fancy near me, I chose this one - brewed by my friends at Firstep - after a lot of fun last night at Drinkoteka with Rafa. Felt kinda least inappropriate. So let's go.
Misty golden-orange body, off-whtite head with medium-low retention. Distinct white grapes in the aroma, of the seedless, eating variety though, followed by mild honeyish-grainy maltiness in the background. Lean, dry, fresh taste, unusual really - floral hoppy notes over honeyish maltiness, some herbal undertones, underlying orange touches, somewhat yeasty, but ending crisp enough, light bitterness. Feels fairly classic and modern at the same time. Solid stuff, glad I had it for my "fake" 20K!
gave a cheers!

Keine Ahnung, was der Name 📛 bedeutet (Smegma ist eher als Schmutz an den Genitalien bekannt), aber das Bier ist durchaus nett.
Es hat trotz 5,6% einen leichten, spritzigen 💦 Abgang und einen schönen, fruchtigen 🍑🍐🥝 Körper.
Nicht so intensiv -aggresiv wie ander NEIPA, dafür super-smooth zu trinken 😋.
