Sun-ripened Quince and Rhubarb lead with vibrant, tangy fruit character, balanced by soft vanilla. Bright acidity and a drier finish bring a piquant edge to this bold twist on a local dessert.

Can, 0.44l. Cloudy orange pour, three finger frothy off-white head, medium retention, slight lacing on the glass. Fruity sour notes on the nose, mild rhubarb, light peach.
Light to medium body, lively carbonation. Average mouthfeel and texture, fizzy, lightweight, refreshing. Sour and tart taste balanced with mild sweetness in the background. Aroma of ripe fruits, peach, citric acid, yeast. Rhubarb, light candy notes. Not much of a vanilla in there but there's some creamy yoghurt sweetness in the background. Medium lasting finish, dry, tart, sweet.
Solid sour but nothing special about it really.

Canned 440ml. -from Pomalo Zagreb. Hazy orange/golden coloured, small off-white head, vanilla and light rhubarb in the nose. Discreet vanilla, light rhubarb, bit bready and touch of alcohol with sourish finish.

Can at Goblet with Veco, Hrabren and others. Misty dull body, not much head. Sour rhubarb aroma, milky, lactic, bit sulfury. Sweetish and sourish taste, hint o sulfur, some rhubarb, bready touches - THP probably, low tartness. Quince? Yeah nah. Vanilla? Oh most definitely not. It's not as bad as it's disappointing in all aspects.

0.44 L can shared with Marko at the Goblet Beer Store, Zagreb. Hazy orange, small head. Aroma is tart fruit, like apricot, peach, lemon, and maybe hints of rhubarb. Medium body, moderate carbonation, moderate tartness, not astringent, creamy. Flavour is tart stone fruit, hints of vanilla and lemon. Soft malty background. Finishes quite sweet with a hint of tartness.
