Bottled 500ml. -from Ljubljanski Festival Piva, Slovenia. Yellow coloured, medium sized white head that went away slowly, hops and pretty sharp methane in the nose. Slight malty, fresh hoppy and mild citrusy notes. Dry bitter finish. Slightly watery but pleasant.

Pours gold with a fading head. Nose shows passion-fruit, lychee, cookie dough-like malt, some grassy and spicy hops. Very hoppy flavours, spicy and grassy notes along with a hint of pine. Not much malt underneath although there is a biscuity character. Body feels a bit watery.

Pours a pale gold with medium size head that hangs out for a bit. Nose of grapefruit, tropical fruit, citrus and some grain. Tastes strong of fruit at beginning but ends quickly with earthiness. Very nice and easy drinking. Enjoyed this a lot.

Pours light gold with good white head. Aroma is light and fruity. Taste is very light bitter ending on a tart and tangy note.

Ogi’s, probably from Slovenia. Poured a clear golden-yellowb body with a lasting medium sized white head. Umm... my notes say "methane & aroma hop" for the aroma... Ok. Elder too, citric notes underneath. Empty taste, light orange, grain, some light citric notes, earthy finish, tropical notes pile up later on. An ale for lager drinkers, but hardly a bad beer.

Pours very clear, nice sized head. Pretty good session ale, with lots of flavour.

Smells a bit subdued, but nice. A bit of pineyness and tropical fruit. Light yellowish color, slightly hazy, with a long lasting head. Quite refreshing, upfront with a bit of hop juicyness, pineyness in the middle and mild lingering hop bitterness on the finish. Slightly sweet hop. Light bodied and medium/high carbonation. Pretty good pale ale, well balanced.

Pours a very pale, and clear gold colour. The white fluffy head quickly dissipates, leaving a thin film on top. The aroma notes include grains, light malts, metal shavings, crackers, pear, banana. The tasting notes include mango, grapefruit, orange peel, a very pleasant palate with a dry bitter finish! Excellent!!

Tap. Hazy golden color with a thin white head. Aroma of peach and mandarine. Bitter taste of citrus and hay. Dry texture.
