Mild dry Croatian pilsner with frisky salted lemon fizz, musky earthen barnyard graining and herbal Saaz hop astringency retains rustic tone as raw-honeyed wild oats, alfalfa and grassy hops buttress buttered biscuit base.
Spry lemon thrust overwhelms stylish banana-clove sweetness, retaining sugary wheated malt sourdough breading to counter fizzy citrus souring of middling Croatian hefe.
Ruby red doppelbock from Croatia not as rich and sultry as renowned Ayinger Celebrator, hiding its 7.5% ABV in a sea of dewily caramelized dried fruiting. Molasses-toasted date, raisin and fig gain prickly honeyed spicing in a serene setting.
