I was a little underwhelmed with this beer, as it seemed just a wee bit underhopped. Perhaps this is because it had sat around before it got to me, since it’s a Croatian beer and I live in the USA. This should be kept in mind before deciding to try this beer.

After reading these reviews I didn’t expect much. Karlovacka Pivovara does beers that are ok, very drinkable, but not really special. This beer is no exception, bitter, but not over the top, nice toffeish aroma, but not much body. Truly beautiful brown/amber colour.... Anyway, I was once forced to leave an opened bottle for an hour, with the bent cap as only "protection". It retained the carbonation, but lost all its taste (!), and the bitterness was far more pronounced. I don’t think it’s a ESL, but I also don’t know what it is.... it’s like nothing I’ve seen before.

Excellent winter beer with a full toffeeish body and mellow flavour laced with some bitterness in the aftertaste. A rich and tasty beer which I found quite enjoyable. (Bottle from shop, Zagreb)
