Hello, beer lovers! 🍻
One week down, the #beersaturday party is here again, 397 in a row, and I'm going to make time for a beer :)

Today, there are two beers, one Slovenian bottle and one Croatian can, which I'll happily empty and share the experience with you.
First of all, the one with less alcohol.
Therapy Session IPA
Brewed by Zmajska Pivovara, Zagreb, Croatia.
Can, 0.5 l, alcohol 3.9% ABV, IBU 35. Session IPA.
What do the Master Brewers say?
Therapy is brewed in the new Session IPA style and contains a wealth of refreshing grapefruit, pineapple, orange, and pine aromas. Thanks to its lower alcohol content, it can be taken anytime, at the beach or during a business lunch. Its effect on the mind and body is proven therapeutic. Inhale tropical aromas and dismiss all problems.
Well, that's great. The beer that heals! :) 😜
I've tasted a few beers from this brewery, and I think their Pale Ale is excellent!
The beer is cloudy golden in color, with a high head. It is very creamy and persistent, and it smells of hops and fruit. A sip goes down the throat smoothly, and I taste a pleasant and restrained bitterness, grapefruit, and a slight, sour-sweet orange in the mouth.
Everything in the aftertaste, even the bitterness, disappears quickly.
It is a refreshing beer with a lower alcohol content. Suitable for all occasions. Now, if it's therapeutic, I could not say. I should probably drink some more :)
It's available in local shops, and the price is €2.70.
Rooster Pale Ale
Brewed by Microbrewery Rooster, Lavrica, Slovenia.
Bottle, 0.5 l, alcohol 4.5% ABV, IBU N/A.
What do the Master Brewers say?
Rooster Pale Ale is a top-fermented beer with a sweet, entire body and pleasant bitterness. It's hopped with many hops, which is pleasantly evident in addition to the fruity aroma and flavor. The beer is unpasteurized and unfiltered.
I have never tasted a beer from this Slovenian brewery, and I am curious about it because it's not well known.
The beer is clear yellow, the head is average, and it disappears quickly. It smells of fresh hops. A sip goes down the throat smoothly, and on the palate I taste the bitterness of the hops, which dominates throughout, followed by the sweetness of the malt and hints of fruit, I think it's peach and a discreet aroma of herbs or pine.
The bitterness lingers in the aftertaste for some time.
It's a tasty and drinkable beer, like a classic Pale Ale, balanced and without extreme flavors. It's a very correct product in style. If I could buy it in local shops, I might have a sample in the fridge, but as it is not available except as an order from the brewer or from a specialized beer shop, at €3,86, it won't be.
And what am I listening to when tasting beers and writing this? Something from my
