Karlovacko Pivovara
December was a busy time for SevenPack. You may have noticed a ridiculous amount of info posted over the last 30 days, and I hope you were able to keep up. Turns out I had a difficult time doing just that because I’m finally getting around to trying the last of the BOMC beers that arrived over 2 weeks ago. Like Ben said earlier, this month’s offerings were a bit “ehhh” but overall the beers were enjoyable, so I can’t complain.
This clear, golden-yellow lager hails from Croatia and is an interpretation of a Czech-style pilsner. The nose is very pronounced, boasting sweet grape tones and a slight metallic twinge. The taste is rather mild but I’m happy to say it has more than just the “beer” flavor I expected. This beer presents itself as a tasteless liquid but then grape jam flavorings stand out about halfway through the mouth. The taste rounds out with a combination of subtle floral and metallic undertones. To be honest there’s not much to this beer but it kinda works in this instance. This is a welcomed, refreshing change to the dark beers I’ve been drinking recently. Furthermore, I can definitely see myself enjoying this beer on a hot summer day. Maybe I’ll revisit it in approximately six months.
