Bottled at Caffe Petkovšek, Ljubljana. Hazy copper colour, small head. Rich aroma of pear and caramel. Mid sweet with medium-full body and rounded mouthfeel. Elderflowers, white pepper and caramel, some pears. Peppery bitterish finish.

Murky dark orange, small off-white head. Aromas develop slowly, first malts, then honey and something fruity, strawberry, orange and zest. Taste is bad: alcohol and some bitterness. Even though it’s strong, it fades quickly, to much alcohol. The worst from Vizir brewery I tried so far.

Hazy amber, moderate strong creamy off white head. Aroma is caramel, malt, some alcohol some solvent, almost no hops. Taste is some malt, some herbal, very strong alcohol. Medium bitterness, astringent. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. This one had no sourness (yet) but it was just too alcoholic.

At a tasting, thanks MarkoNM, stable medium bubbly head, quite cloudy deep orange color, aroma of brett, cider and soap with a hint orose petals, soapy flavour with a light vinegary sourness, coarse bitterness. Probably not what it was supposed to be.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Stas’s place. Thanks tomer. Hazy orange with an off-white head. Funky aroma with fruitiness, soap, yeast and a bit of vinegar. Sour infected flavor with some fruitiness, soap and yeast. Over-carbonated. Infected, quite badly.

Pretty hazy dark amber color, almost copper, topped wit ha small and quickly dissipating white head. Initial fruity aroma, citruses and some prunes, with malty notes coming into the front - biscuits and caramel. Way later on, again some fruitiness. There’s a gentle and warming alcohol presence all along. Taste starts slightly sweet, caramel like, with moderate bitterness following and surprisingly gentle warming alcohol in the finish. Medium lightm aromatic with gentle taste.

Bottle from HerrBierkoenig, many thanks Damian. Hazy orange golden color with huge persistent medium white head. Aroma of old malt, light citrus hops, earthy notes. Taste, malt, some sourness, followed by light citrus hops..Again earthy notes. i think this beer is infected, if I will have chance, I will re-rate it for sure.

Bottled, 0.33l. Murky amber color with thin frothy tan-like head and lively bubbles. Aroma of honey, rubber, alcohol, those damned carrots with weak earthy hints. Taste starts with sweet malt, followed by carrot and papaya with strong alcohol note. Mouthfeel is warm, aftertaste is long and bitter. Medium body, thick texture and soft carbonation in palate. I’ve already tried all other Vizir beers prior to Nori Franc just to get a bit of dramatic feeling. Quick resume; looks good, smells bad, tastes fairly decent, feels disappointing after great expectation...

17/04 A 0.33 l bottle, courtesy of ogivlado, thanks for giving away! It poured deep golden, amber body with smaller head. Crappy malty aroma, flowery, honey and vegetables with additional notes of alcohol and plastic as well. Flavor was slightly sweet malty as well, herbal hops were present but not enough to balance hefty 10% ABV body that unfortunately couldn’t offer any complexity, only some quite unpleasant stuff. Not really well executed, lot of off flavors and besides all, not really sure what they tried to make with this attempt. Could be a bad batch.
