Beer Tasting - English Pale Ale ('Barba Englez' by LAB Split)
What SBD is to STEEM that is Barba beer to Englishman beer. Different flavours by the same winning team! I really liked them both!
Basically we have a match between American Pale Ale and English Pale Ale! Let’s see how it goes down! Englishman in Croatian is englez.
I bought it a few days ago on my vacation. It was made in town called Split so what alternative did I have? You should always support locals! This is my recent review of its sibling. Picture below!
I was on a stroll to see a famous sculpture museum when my attention was drawn to a beer shop. What do you know!? I just can’t get away from it.
Split is a lovely city with awesome walkabouts and great beer. Do visit! Especially during summer months!
What is barba?
It is a man noted for his beard! And I’d say his pickup skills. Sometimes the horny locals are called ‘galebovi’ (English - seagulls). They tend to stroll the waterfront and charm the passing ladies. Especially tourists! So beware you unspoilt princesses. Though I doubt many of you girls will cherish a beer review :D
Is there a ‘barba’ around? In Croatian. Ima li barbe?

Barba Englez by LAB Split
Style | English Pale Ale |
Country | Split, Croatia |
Alcohol | 5.4% |
----- | --------- |
Appearance | Copper color. Clear. Rocky head, firm, lasts. Neutral taste. Very tasty! I like the label, advertising and style. Good work boys and girls! Appealing at first sight! |
Aroma | Earthy notes and leaves. Home made bread. Distant floral notes. Very complex aroma! |
Taste | Medium sweetness, light umami taste. Lots of malt in the taste, nice! I don't know why pear comes to mind. |
Palate | Medium to full body, oily feel, lively carbonation. Rounded finish, slightly sour. |
----- | --------- |
Overall | Well, what do you know, I like this better than the American Pale Ale by the same brewery. I didn’t expect it. Might be that i’m in the mood for more sweet than hoppy taste. I am very happy with this acquisition. Go for it if you are in Croatia! Pretend you are the guy on the label and break someone’s heart! It goes well together! |
Score (subjective, personal) | 18/20 |
Price: 19 kuna (3.00$) for 0.5l. Bottle at a beer shop. Medium range for the quality.

The label looks powerful. I want to taste
You got that right - support the locals!
"Galebovi" = seagulls? That's pretty funny. Gotta be ready to duck for cover with them flying around.
The "barba" seems a very interesting name! Hehe... When I come to Croatia, I will become a barba for a while! At least for a couple of days.
Cheers! Very nice and deep color of this barba.
Nice review, I would love to give it a try !
