Beer Tasting - Witbier ('Ljeto u Zagrebu' by Medvedgrad Brewery)

in #beer7 years ago (edited)

Summer is here so what is a good seasonal option? This lovely witbier does the trick. Not the best of all times, but provides a welcome variety!

One thing is for sure - Medvedgrad Brewery sure know how to advertise. They even made street graffiti of the beer title.

Ljeto u zagrebu means literally Summer in Zagreb - so local patriotism at its best!


We celebrated when the InMusic festival ended with this brew. An after party of sorts. I wrote about the festival in a review if you want to take a look. This is at the famous Zagreb Lake Jarun.

I talked a lot about Medvedgrad brewery. Always a surprise in their pocket and on the constant rise. They excel at making interesting seasonal stuff and I’ll keep you updated on the news. Maybe someone notices finally the effort I put into advertising and I get a freebie. I sure don’t count on it :)

For the tasting we took a turn to beer Bourse. Changing prices all the time, just like an exchange! I actually didn’t get that good of a deal that day :)


I noticed that lots of people actually started to read what I write so thank you for that. Lot of aspiring homebrewers gather around here and I comment and upvote as much as I can, but I am only one steemer. When I grow a bit more I’ll delegate to @steempub-trail.

@thewineman is doing an admirable job with this! Resteems for visibility are great for newbies! Also, try to get whaleshares, some of those are being thrown around. If you find out any tricks, do say!

Ljeto u Zagrebu by Medvedgrad Brewery

StyleWitbier
CountryZagreb, Croatia
Alcohol5.2%
--------------
AppearanceLike home made must ready to mature into white wine! Hazy yellowish. A bit green but that could be street lighting acting up.
AromaDeep wheat. Distant citrus. Yeasty. Very yeasty. Definitely a bit of zesty orange. Advertises coriander but I can’t imagine it at this time. Will stuff some in my mouth and nose as soon as I find it!
TasteMedium sweeteness. Low bitterness. Can feel summer for sure!
PalateMedium body. Nice swirl. Prickly carbonation. Short comforting aftertaste.
--------------
OverallLike someone just lost virginity. Sweet but immature. Not a huge fan of wheat but this one gets a definite pass. Still, a bit underdeveloped.
Score (subjective, personal)14/20

Price: 19 kuna (2.95$) for 0.5l. On tap at a pub. Medium-range

What would refresh you more? Wheat or barley?

Sort:  

It's a great looking beer; shame you didn't like it that much. But it does stroke my ego seeing my wheat got a better score :D

I'll get to that place one day and everyone will stare at me when I'll break into:
My wheatbeer brings all the boys to the yard,
And they're like
It's better than yours,
Damn right
It's better than yours

Haha, thanks for the song. Wonderful! I'll edit it in if that's ok!

:D sure man, of course it's fine! It's not like I haven't stolen it from Kelis

It looks like a real good bear, I love the label.
