Beer Tasting - India Pale Ale ('Pozoj IPA' by Zmajska Brewery)

in #beer7 years ago

When Sunday hits and you are feeling low, nothing works better than an ice cold IPA. So it was this #beautifulsunday with some charming company.

Another visit to Sheridan’s Pub. They will never remove the ubiquitous flag. Cute!

Terrace is a welcome add on in this hot weather!

The iconic dragon spouts its magic again. This time a special version.

Black and tan? Nope. A straightforward IPA. A heavy hitter at that! An impressive 7.3 ABV.

Pozoj IPA by Zmajska Brewery

StyleIndia Pale Ale (IPA)
CountryZagreb, Croatia
Alcohol7.3%
--------------
AppearanceHead is nothing all that spectacular. Clear light amber color. I like the black label, gives it some style and you expect classy stuff.
AromaFloral bomb just like they advertise. Heavy hops. Kills all else. Maybe an underlying grapefruit. After a few more decisive whiffs I suspect I can discern moldy cheese.
TasteMedium sweet. Medium bitter. Empty taste. Falls flat. Like it lacks a special something.
PalateMedium body and low carbonation. Feels heavy in mouth and leaves a bitter aftertaste. Pleasant enough but I’m not impressed by this one.
--------------
OverallAroma is what really stands out. No argument there. Taste could use some more finishing touches but not bad. Maybe I raised a bar a bit recently. Not my favourite IPA. In my humble opinion overrated on RateBeer.
Score (subjective, personal)14/20

Price: 22 kuna (3.40$) for 0.33l. Bottle at a pub. Splurge for a small bottle.

Appreciate the mention........very kind of you.....thank you.

All the best to you and yours. Cheers.

Thanks! I hope I do it more in the future. I always try to make room for cool Steemers ;)

I think IPAs might be my favorite beers at the moment, amber and red ales being second favorite. That one looks quite nice, and 7.3% too, can't go wrong really.

I think these are the closest I've had recently that could be considered to have a "monster" logo:

Indeed monsters! My favorite are stouts, but only if I had to say

I've never been a big fan of stouts although I've had a few nice ones recently.

Thanks. I do have to upgrade my camera, I know ;)

You are making me thirsty!

I do hope so ;)
