13/11 Draft at Sheridan’s pub, Zagreb. Amber bodied with smaller to medium sized head. Grapefruit and, to lesser extent cinnamon aroma. Fine, pleasantly sweet biscuit flavor, also dry, like regular red ale with orange and cinnamon spices of course that gave it much more interesting character. Medium body with nice, dry and long lasting orange finish. Served a bit cold and could be appreciated only as it got warmer. Another nice special from this brewery, too bad regulars are such a mediocrity!

On tap at Sheridan’s Pub, Zagreb. Shiny orange/amber coloured, small off-white head, mild malty fruity nose. Quite weak and watery taste but in other hand very tasty. Fruity (orange dominates), light spicy hoppy with bitter finish. Enjoyable and easy-drinkable.

Draft at Sheridan’s, Zagreb. Lovely shiny full amber body, lasting bubbly head. Subtle sweetish nose, orange and vague cinnamon. Lovely jaffa cakes orange dominates the slightly too watery body. Liiiight bitter finish. Man, it’s so watery but so damn tasty. I’d have it again and again. Great stuff.

Keg at Irish Craft beer festival @RDS.
A hazy medium brown beer, soft carbonation and fairly full bodied. Coconut he dominant flavour on the nose and in body, with perhaps a touch of cinamon. No sign of the orange though.
