03/03 0.5 l bottle courtesy of Doggythedog, thanks for sharing! It poured lighter amber body with smaller head. Fine malty aroma, not too strong though, a touch of biscuit with some caramel. Lemony hops are notable in the flavor, along with biscuit malty base. Not really full in body with short and watery finish though. At this point it was bitterish, quite dry with some malty sweetness that arrived at the very end. Pleasant, but typically light bitter

Poured a copper-brown body with a small white head that went away fast. Light pleasant malty nose, honeyish, carrying some very light aroma hop. The taste is light but nice, lemony hopiness over slightly subdued maltiness. As I said, quite nice overall, I’d have it again.

Bottled 500ml. -from www.beershop.hr
Nice clear amber coloured, small off-white head, lively carbonation, mild fruity nose. Moderate malty, lemony hops and slight fruity with quite bitter finish. Pleasant bitter, but all in all rather boring one.

Copper with a foaming white collar. Murray Mint, slight sprout and pencil shavings aroma; the predictable wash of caramel and watery, vaguely herbal/pencilly hops beyond. Slick and malty with not much going on. Some minty, peppery hop amongst the toffee and boiled sweet notes. Slides down easy enough I suppose.

Bottle at home ... deep copper ... sweet toffee malts nose ... rich toffee but a bit thing mouthfeel ... fair amount of floral hops ...tasty but something seems off in balance.

ambraa buona schiuma discreta persistenza note piacevolmente luppololate delicate un po erbacce mnalto caramello toffee in bocca delicata prima malto poi luppolo non molto marcato ma ben presente un poco pepato finale medio lungo
