Zajecarsko Svetlo (33.1cl, 4.5%)

A Serbian pale lager from the Zaječar Brewery in Eastern Serbia, brewed at 4.5% ABV and packaged in a 330ml glass bottle. The brewery has operated since 1895 and now sits under Heineken Srbija, while sourcing more than 85% of its raw materials from within Serbia. Its water is drawn from local sources and left chemically untreated. The aroma opens with restrained malt sweetness and cereal grain, with faint hay-like notes and a subtle earthy hop quality. On the palate, mild malt sweetness leads into a grainy mid-palate with hints of corn, balanced by low earthy hops. The body is light and the finish clean and dry, with gentle earthy bitterness that fades quickly.
