Vukovarsko Svijetlo Pivo

Brewed by Proizvodno-trgovački obrt Dobra
Style: Premium Lager
Vukovar, Croatia

0,5 l bottle, thanks Ogivlado&Doggythedog! Poured clear golden with a small lacing white head. Aroma of sesame, straw and corn, some young-beer character with diacetil. Sweet unbalanced flavor with corn and malt. Croatian micros has the same problems like hungarians...But congratulations to brew in Vukovar! Keep it up! Let keep the beer in the cellar one or two week more! And lets do the fermentation on a lower temperature. It will be better...So i had a bad one...

08/04 0.5 l @Tolkien’s house, Zagreb. It poured a bit murky golden body with bigger head. Herbal and orange hop aroma, a bit sourish. Somewhat grainy as well. Flavor was pleasant, slightly bitter from citrus and herbal hops with touch of honey malty sweetness. A bit thinner flavor than it should be. Dry, herbal finish. Good beer, I won’t complain. It’s great that new micros are being opened up around here

Bottled(500ml). -Slight hazy golden coloured, small white head, grainy nose with touch of honey. Few streams of carbonation. Herbal, hay and bitter hoppy taste, a bit watery. Dry bitter finish. This one is quite different from other Croatian micros that could eventually become better.

0.5l bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado (thanks!). Poured a dark golden-orange body, slightly hazy, with a thick fluffy white head that went away at a medium pace. Grainy nose, some honey, some beets (hmm). Beets again in the taste (ugh), hoppy bitterness dominates the taste, and it’s not the tastiest hopiness there is, somewhat crude... some soapy orangey notes too. Well... the brewer(s) aren’t all that experienced apparently and they were tutored by Hungarian brewers so this is probably way better than it should be. I’m so thrilled that a new brewery has opened up, and the fact that it’s in Vukovar of all places makes that fact even greater and I wish the brewers the best of luck.
