## Hello, beer lovers! 🍻 How are you doing? If you've been treating yourself to a beer after a hard day, a hard week, and of course at some monthly party, you're probably doing very well. 😜 It's been pretty cold here this week, but at the end of the week, everything thawed out, temperatures are above zero, and beer is flowing again :) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNgQ6e9M21dgDgieea61FAD898oa7bHjzJ2xyzBXbLCPh/salt1.webp) I have two Slovenian bottles in front of me, which I will now open and happily share my beer experience with you for 447 #beersaturday. 🍻 😎 🍻 First, the one with less alcohol. # Hopsbrew Salt Breeze Pale Ale ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmNafXN353eVdHwbuvgznybgiHkaPEjmpA2vjk6UgZgYBF/salt2.webp) Brewed by [Pivovarna Hopsbrew](https://www.hopsbrew.si), Dobrunje, Slovenia. Bottle, 0.5 l, alcohol 4.5% ABV, IBU 20. Pale Ale style. What do the Master Brewers say? >Salt Breeze is a beer with a rich aroma of bergamot and a hint of sea salt. It refreshes and offers a unique taste! I've never seen bergamot before, only in pictures, let alone tasted it, so it will be interesting. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmTupCQoRGxdVwnYuP2w1X6JiiZmbRy6sabvyxHtBLoMQs/salt3.webp) The beer is light and bright yellow. It has a lot of foam, but it disappears quickly. It has a slight citrus aroma, probably bergamot, which is a little different from other citrus fruits. It goes down smoothly, and I can taste a slight bitterness of hops, citrus, herbs, and maybe a hint of saltiness. The aftertaste disappears quickly. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmdLksKgKK1UkftoWTkox6haytzSGeE4KyTQXT6EnPUeQb/salt4.webp) Drinkable, light, and refreshing! I believe it would be perfect for drinking on the beach, after sports, or exercise. It's winter here now, but it's still good! It's not classic in the sense of a hop bomb, but more refreshing and experimental, with all the characteristics of a good beer :) I haven't seen it in local stores (yet), but I bought it at Megamarket Spar in Koper. It's not cheap, though, at €3.20. When the hot summer comes, I'll definitely treat myself to another one. 🍻 😎 🍻 # BERGKÖNIG Ironik IPA ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmXxdFA2YXDsKrrm9VpFyS4UQZSbZbAXjKQpYyZRCLunb5/salt5.webp) Brewed by [Tektonik](https://tektonik.beer/), Ljubljana, Slovenia, for the Hofer brand Bergkönig. Bottle, 0.5 l, alcohol 5.8% ABV, IBU 50. IPA style. What do the Master Brewers say? >Based on the choice of malt, one might think that we are talking about a lager, but dip your tongue in the solution and it quickly becomes clear that this is a real IPA. The bright straw-colored body is covered with a medium-rich white head. The aroma is fruity, with tropical fruit and citrus notes dominating. The taste follows the aroma, but leans a little more towards stone fruit, with some hints of conifer resin in the background. The bitterness is moderately pronounced and pleasant. If it weren't good, it would be funny. I tasted this beer about three years ago. But since it's still in production, I'll try it again, also because the master brewers have changed the recipe :) I liked it back then, and I hope it will be just as good now (after trying hundreds of other beers 😵‍💫). We'll see :) ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmesDPre8Z9c1JfmrxWZjdFRMRzvGqCAhdQgbVoK3unZ69/salt6.webp) The beer is yellow, slightly cloudy, and has little foam. It smells of tropical fruits. It goes down smoothly, and I can taste a solid bitterness of hops and citrus, perhaps even herbs. The distinct bitterness lingers in the aftertaste for some time. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZvm6gvdSB5WTdUZWQSWK7rEEpqfAEyxmQsP25bwrVzzL/salt7.webp) A refreshing and thirst-quenching beer! I can only quote myself (a few years ago): >Smells like an IPA, bitter like an IPA, citrus fruit aromas like an IPA, in short, a classic IPA. 🍺 ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmPA2DToP9MVcBGE3s1NUhammLsg8DtSroLVT3UWvHacEu/salt8.webp) It's available at local Hofer stores for €1.99, so I will be sure to keep some in my refrigerator. 🍻 😎 🍻 And what am I listening to when writing this and tasting beer?
