Some respite from sightseeing with a beer today! Four days at the coast and not a single sighting of a whale, or whaleshare, only a dragon!
I was strolling along the beautiful Split waterfront when my eye caught sight of this small beer shop. Weird how you find things when you aren’t even looking. Must be subconscious. I have heard some talk of ‘Reticular activating system’, part of the mind that focuses our attention on what we perceive as important. Maybe some of you psych majors know more?
Not very interested shopkeepers, but that must the famous laid back attitude of Dalmatians. Anyway, I got what I was looking for - some new beer editions. One is ‘Bitter’ featured here and other is a local Brew That I am yet to taste.
I also took the chance and the scenery for some photo-shooting. I like how just walking along the sea makes me forget all my worries. The smell of freedom. And sulfur (rotten eggs).
Split waterfront was the site of an ancient sulfur spa. Is it actually beneficial? I have no idea. But taste your beer somewhere else, just to keep the rotting aroma away.
I was tempted to jump on this pirate ship or this submarine but the beer was getting warm.

Mari’s Bitter by Zmajska Brewery
| Style | Bitter |
| Country | Zagreb, Croatia |
| Alcohol | 4.6% |
| ----- | --------- |
| Appearance | Golden, almost copper. Head makes some noise before dissolving. Black and blue label. Seems classy. This is my first bitter to be honest. Don’t know what to expect! |
| Aroma | Herbal and grassy notes. Noticeable hops but not overwhelming. Slight sweet aroma. Caramel. |
| Taste | Very tasty. Very sweet. Medium bitter. Didn’t picture it this way. |
| Palate | Lasting sweet aftertaste with a layered bitterness in the back of the palate.Interesting. Perky. Low to moderate carbonation. |
| ----- | --------- |
| Overall | Another Dragon novelty that delivers. I like it and would order it again. Only concern is the price which tends to be hefty. I am divided on this bottle size 0.66. Better than 0.5 but seems unwieldy. Aimed at couples? Great beer for beginners since there is no heavy hop aroma. Even @ssekulji liked it and he is known to drink only watery macro lagers. Girly beer. |
| Score (subjective, personal) | 17/20 |
Price: 25 kuna (3.90$) for 0.66l. Bottle at a beer shop. Medium range since bigger bottle.

@glitterfart is a known beer lover. And in my opinion has an awesome nickname! Follow him for info on different radio recordings of newest crypto ventures. Whaleshares included!
0,66l is a very interesting bottle. Assuming its low alcohol content and this bitterness, will definitely like a bottle or two in a hot summer day! The dragon is very simple and great marketing. Love the cap!
You got to try Mihovil beer - it is made in Šibenik, a town north from Split on Croatian coast. This beer is number one for me this summer :)
I had my mind on it but had to return :( I hope I find it in Zagreb. Do a review yourself! #beersaturday challenge!
Speaking of beer.. I'm actually drink this right now :)

Suave!
I actually just took my last sip when you replied :P How have you been by the way?
Busy. Thank you for asking :) I'm off to a festival right now. If you figure out how to recover my vp faster you'll be my new best friend! :D
Only my pleasure. Got to check up on my Steemit friends lol! Festival, that's cool! Make sure you drink a lot of beer and take your camera lol.
VP? Sorry, explain?
Voting power, always low :(
You're currently at 26%.. The thing is, the recharge has a negative compounding recharge.. Meaning that the lower your power level is, the longer it'll take to recharge.
My power level was at around 30% last week.. The only thing you can do, which is what I did, is stopping voting until it charges back.
If you think about it, it's the wisest choice. Because your vote is far weaker right now than it would be at 100%. So, just don't upvote for the next 4 days, and you should be at around 85%.
Then only use a max of 20% power per day so that you don't over-use it again, to prevent it from recharging slower than it should.
Hope that helped
