Karlovačko is a popular beer in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is the signature product of brewer Karlovačka Pivovara, a Heineken International subsidiary, located in the city of Karlovac. It has an alcohol content of about 5.4 percent by volume.[1] Its makers describe it as "golden-yellow" in color and "refreshingly" bitter in taste.[1] It won a 2005 Brewing Industry International Award golden medal in the category of beers with 4.5 to 5.5 percent alcohol.[2] Pictured here in a brown bottle, Karlovačko is now sold in green bottles (also in cans and plastic packaging).
