Beer Tasting - India Pale Ale (IPA) ('Fakin IPA' by Medvedgrad Brewery)
Brimming with joy after making my first purchase of fiat with my hard-earned STEEM I darted in the direction of the closest craft pub.
The miracle!
ATM handing me a 100. More in this link to my previos post.
Yes, it was Medvedgrad Brewery and Beer Bourse, you guessed right! Recently I reviewed a classic craft they serve. Click to find out more!
I met with my dear friend @ssekulji and enjoyed the view. Even the rain did not bother us. Notice how they put the beer art on the wall as graffiti. It is one of my favourites in the city.
A few patrons gave me strange looks for trying to find a good camera angle. Who cares, it is for a good cause, eh? ‘Fakin’ in Zagreb vernacular means ‘a cool dude’. That is how I felt.
Photo session!
Fakin IPA by Medvedgrad Brewery
Style | India Pale Ale (IPA) |
Country | Croatia |
Alcohol | 7% |
----- | --------- |
Appearance | Almost translucent. Slightly cloudy. Decent head.Holds well. Art on the bottle is amazing. See it on the wall above. |
Aroma | Fresh fruit. Also, a bit like pine tree.So - sweet with rounded IPA-ish bitterness. |
Taste | Plethora of hops. Rich taste. Just the right combination of fruitiness and bitterness. Some malt and citrus noticeable. Alcohol almost not noticeable in taste. |
Palate | Slight warmth long after swallowed. Medium bodied, low carbonation. |
----- | --------- |
Overall | Bittersweet beer. Same as people who would taste it. I am all in but I can see not everyone would appreciate it. If you want new and different then go for it. Packs a punch and leaves you wanting more. |
Score (subjective, personal) | 17/20 |
Price: 17.5 kuna at the moment (Bourse) (2.58 $) for 0.5 l bottle. Low mid-range
