If I recall correctly, I had a bottle of this in summer of 2018 in Fox Bar in Čakovec. Dark brown, small lasting off-white head. Fake-ish cherry candy, although not unpleasant. Has a fruity character, juicy, light roasty or chocolate touch, good balance. Slightly tart, toasty background, sweet juicy cherry. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation, soft & juicy texture. Much better than I expected.

0,5 l bottle. Pours ruby red with a finger of creamy dirty white head. Aroma of sour cherry, raspberries, slightly vinous and sweet. Flavor is tart and artificial sour cherry syrup. Taste is medium sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium, mouthfeel slick and carbonation average. Finish starts sweet and turns to a quite unpleasant bitterness, sour cherry is present all the way. Unpleasant.

Can, random supermarket on Lošinj. Dark red, medium sized white red head. Syrupy cherry aroma, nice one. Slightly sweet, cherry, moderate bitterness, a bit tart. Lighter body. Not a bad one.

5.6% alk, pokušaj imitiranja belgijskih voćnih piva. U biti bi se trebala zvati trula višnja. Preslatko pivo, vrijedno probati gutljaj, dva, ali sve više od toga je zamorno.

11 August 2018. Bottle from a Konzum in Zagreb. Living room tasting in Floating House, Bosanska Krupa. Cheers to Anke!
Pours hazy red with a big, collapsing, frothy, beige/pinkish head; little lacing. Aroma of cherry candy, or candied cherry, sugar, sugared red tea, raspberry. Medium to heavy sugary sweet taste, lots of chemical red candy; very light sour 'fruity' in the back. Sweet, cloying finish, a bit tart, faintly cherry pit-like & grainy bitter, chemical effect. Light body, sticky texture, fizzy carbonation. Sickeningly sweet - fun to try!

Bottle at Hard Place. Because they have little to nothing better, but hey. It's a new tick. Dark ruby body, lasting thick beige head. Dull mix of grainy notes and cherry touches, taste... Nice cherry touches, somewhat malty, touches of cardboard. The beery part brings it down actually. Nice at times but average at best.
