330 ml bottle. Pours golden with white head. Body is medium and crisp. Taste is of grassy hops and pale molt. Medium dry finish. Refreshing brew.

had from draft in Croatia.

idk what people expect, maybe they think everything has to be an ipa or a double or triple, but this is a lager, so like the now infamous budweiser. compared to that, it has flavor and drinkability without the politics.

light golden color, with 2 inch head from a half liter mug. head is somewhat lasting, and leaves plenty of lacing.

the aroma somewhat light but some light fruit, malt and a little hops. certainly not overpowering or off putting.

the taste is clean and refreshing. no one component overpowers the other. there is a slight hoppy bitterness that is well balanced with the malt and fruity yeasty elements. the aftertaste is clean and fresh, and definitely the draft version has no metallic notes at all.

mouthfeel is nice, with the malt, fruit and hops playing nicely with the medium plus carbonation. the aftertaste has lingering malt, hoppy bitterness, and certainly ready for the next sip.

this is a great all around beer, and deserves a high rating for a lager, but i guess only ipa gets the high ratings from peer pressure, which i guess makes me give it a 3.75 instead of the 4.25 that it deserves. so much for independent thinking…

It is April 2023 and I just opened a can dated June 1996. Not to bad for a beer that should have been drank 27 years ago. Just that lagers at not my beer of choice. Tried to be fair.

Fairly typical pilsner appearance, quite a fruity, hoppy aroma.

For me this is really unique, it's much more alive than Pan, and has an amazing hoppy fruitiness. Perfect in the sun. My favourite Croatian pilsner for sure.

Si tratta di una birra a bassa fermentazione in stile Lager, che si presenta di colore giallo paglierino tenue, con cappello di schiuma mediamente persistente, a grana grossa e grezza.
L'aroma è molto leggero e presenta note di mais e metallo, poco malto.
Il gusto è molto amaro e metallico.
Si tratta di una birra poco carbonata, dal corpo leggero, con un retrogusto amaro e metallico.

It is an ale beer in Lager style, with a pale yellow colour, with head of foam persistent on average, with large and raw grain.
Its aroma is so light, with corn and metal, a few soft traces of malt.
Taste is so bitter and metallic.
It is a not so much carbonated beer, with light body (I would say watery) and a bitter and metallic aftertaste.

.5L can of Hrvarsko Pivo 1 - Svijetli Lager (5% ABV) in Krka, Croatia.
Clear amber body with a tall white head.
Standard pale lager flavor quality but leaning towards bold and bitter as a pils.
Good balance. Medium bitterness.
