Ožujsko (Pale Lager)
Croatian pale lager · Ožujsko · Beer & spirits · Zagreb
Why it's worth it
Brewed in Zagreb since 1892 and named after the month of March, Ožujsko is Croatia's most popular beer and the default pour on the coast. Reviews are honest that it is a serviceable, refreshing lager rather than a standout, but it is the beer you will actually be handed all summer. For adult travelers.
Taste
Light, clean pale lager, more malt-sweet than hoppy with a slight bitterness; easy and refreshing, a standard everyday beer rather than a craft one
