2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
big brown plastic bottle 2000ml. -Dark golden coloured, medium sized white head, lively carbonation, buttery grainy nose. Malty, grainy and cardboard taste with buttery notes. Touch of glue in rather short finish. Once again unnecessary supermarket beer.

02/08 2 l bottle Doggythedog shared, thanks! It poured golden body with medium sized head. Boring aroma, sweetish, weak malty and typical grainy pale lager. Malty flavor, sweetish and slightly sourish in corny way. Also crude grainy, boring and watery, with of course thin body. Some weak herbal bitterness is showed in its anyway flabby finish, that helped only a little bit about its overall impression. Still, it’s a typical lower quality pale lager, not any better that its predecessor.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
2l bottle I bought in the Billa store in Split, shared with heavy.
Now, with Daruvarska Pivovara going through a tumultuous period, it was only normal for their supermarket beers to be brewed by another brewery. Lidl’s "Deep" brand was switched to Grude and it was only normal that the slightly unfortunately named "Gross" got moved to another brewery. Well, "Gross" being related to the former brewery in some way, the name got changed to "Bross" when the Herzegovinian brewery took over this one too. Great. Anyway, poured a golden body with a medium sized head that wnet away fast. Slightly dusty and polleny malty nose with some herbal notes. Sweetish malty taste, bit dry, grainy, bitterish finish without a well defined hop profiles (some weak herbal notes do show up). Ok supermarket lager. Good for them that they were smart enough neither to name it "Dross" nor to make it such. Or shame, that would’ve been really funny.
