heavy (1466) - Split, CROATIA - APR 21, 2008
0.33 l bottle at a caffe bar in Jajce. Don’t get where did they get it as I didn’t see it in shops. Poured lighter golden body with medium head. Nose was predominately hoppy, grass, lemon, pretty fine. With first sip I took the beer drops a scale in my eyes. Some dry cardboard breaks through bitterness of this pilsener, and ruins the whole thing although not felt very much. Dry bittersweet finish, medium long with that boring cardboard again. Another boring and dull macro lager.
