Karlovačko

Karlovačko is a very clear, highly carbonated brew that pours the colour of pale honey beneath a lively white head. It comes from Karlovac, Croatia, where it's brewed by Karlovačko Pivovara. It comes in 500mL cans and contains 5% alcohol.

A pale lager, Karlovačko has a crisp, grainy aroma. It has an unsurprising but pleasant pale lager flavour--sweet cereals which give way to a slight bitter crunch. There's a gentle alcohol taste near the back end which wasn't quite expected.  However, it's certainly not unwelcome. It's nice to be reminded that pale lagers actually have some booze in them.

Karlovačko is a solid lager with a reliable body and an interesting finish. Worth a try.

Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
