Beer Tasting: Grif Pale Ale and Zeppelin Tovar Pilsener

Hello, beer tasters! 🍻 😎 🍻

It's lucky it's summer and the breweries are working at full tilt. I have two new beers for today's #beersaturday. I took them out of the fridge and put them in the freezer for a few minutes to make them really cold.

I got both of them from Roto - World Of Drinks store, mostly because of interesting labels. We'll see if the contents of these bottles are consistent with that.

🍻 😎 🍻

Grif Pale Ale

Brewed by microbrewery GRIF. Bottle, 0.5 l, alcohol 5.0% ABV.
They say it's Pale Ale with Citra hops. Ok, I know what can I expect now.

The label says that

Grif Pale Ale is an aromatic and drinkable golden-colored beer with citrus notes and a rich head.

Well, even before the first sip, I think that the rich foam thing is not true. The head is somehow modest and thin and disappears quickly. In the mouth, I can taste the bitterness of the hops but the citrus, if there is any, is very discreet.

The beer is drinkable, that's true, but I don't find it very aromatic, and there are none of those citrus fruits. It seems to me to be a little watery.

Well, not to be too clever, the beer is an average Pale Ale, nothing special, I've had much better.

And now beer meme :)

Zeppelin Tovar Pilsener

Brewed by Zeppelin Craft Brewery, Bjelovar, Croatia. Bottle, 0.5 l, alcohol 4.5% ABV. It's pilsener, btw: Tovar means Donkey in English. It's said to be very drinkable and refreshing, with aromas and flavours from the noble Czech Saaz hop.
Nice, I will be happy to taste it.

The beer is clear golden color, medium white head. In the first sip I detect hop bitterness but not too much and some sourness, maybe apple? After a sip, the bitterness stays in the mouth for a while, the sourness disappears. Another sip and the same.

Yeah, well, nothing special, I would say. Average. Better than industrial pilsners but far from great. They'll have to do better...

I mentioned at the beginning that I was attracted by the stickers. Yes, the labels are interesting, but the contents of the bottles are nothing special, so I'm a bit disappointed.
But I have patience. These are neither the first nor the last beers in my #beersaturday tastings.
