Beer Tasting - Porter ('Renaissance Nettle Porter' by Nova Runda Brewery)

in beer •  7 years ago 

Nettle beer in a clay mug during Renaissance Fair! What a rush! Almost a time travel. I forgot all about the crypto space for a time.


As I was browsing the offerings around the fair I’ve heard strange rumors about a mysterious brewery that offers a rejuvenating concoction. None that went searching for it returned. Heat was merciless and some lepers tried to tempt me with food but I had a singular purpose and didn’t allow myself to get sidetracked.

After a while the path became clear. And lo and behold, there it was. A small hut that didn’t offer macro beer. Wonderful!

This unusual setting required me to rent a clay mug so the experience could be complete. Kind of cool not to use glass for a change! If they cooked it on site, I couldn’t really tell, but there was a variety of brewing paraphernalia around.

StylePorter
CountryZagreb, Croatia
Alcohol4.8%
--------------
AppearanceBrown and murky. Brownish small head. Like a real medieval concoction.
AromaHerbal. Grainy. Weak aroma.
TasteVery hoppy taste. Medium bitter. Grassy.
PalateWatery. Low to medium carbonation. Leaves a lasting bitter aftertaste. Almost a sting. It is nettle after all!
--------------
OverallI have mixed feelings on this. Overall mood of the festival can get you carried away. Maybe the development was rushed to suit the occasion. Exclusive 200 liter batch. Would buy more to try in different setting.
Score (subjective)13/20

Price: 19 kn (3.05$) - 0.5 l. On tap at a festival. Mid-range.

It looks cool as feck! Definitely an experience to be had. That mug as well is awesome!

I tried some Croatian beers during a travel around the country some years ago and I must recognize that they are quite good. Maybe a bit strong for spanish taste but I enjoyed a lot, as well as the rest of the country.
