Bottle we (me & Loz) picked up directly from the brewery in the company of Marko. Had this Wednesday 27th May 2026 listening to 6Music we had Lamb meatballs with Fregola and Feta, however in the absence of a couple of ingredients we used Orzo and Feta, they still tasted great but I suspect they'd have definitely been better with the Feta. Pours conker brown with a mid beige head. Strange beer, tangy and leaning towards a slight tart/sour edge. There's a little bit of dark fruit and bitter cocoa but it's the slightly ramshackle feeling I get. Score: 6.0

0.33l bottle from Brauliebe Hirz, shared almost two months later with Hrabren and Ogi in Zagreb. Bit dull golden body, fleeting white head. Sugaty honeyish vanilla-coconut barrel notes, light caramelly maltiness, low esters. Hoooh. Light taste, elegant, a little bit of classic Hirz esters, peachy somewhat, and a solid oaky-rummish smooth coconut-vanilla profile, borderline creamy, but not going into stale. Well hidden 8.5% alcohol too. Good little experiment.

0.33l bottle from Brauliebe Hirz. Somewhat hazy full golden body, off-white thick head. Floral, smooth aroma, some banana and vague stone fruit, bit of good maltiness. Smooth, light taste, floral, citric, mild yeastiness, sweetish, some Cedevita candy vibes, even trace of alcohol perhaps, herbal notes by the finish, mildly bitter. The hop profile is quite nice really now.
