Bottle. Pours cloudy amber. Aroma is candy, vegetables. Body is medium, super bitter, more vegetables. Very off. Lively carbonation, also sour. Yuk.

0.5L bottle. Pours a bit of a dirty hazy orange colour with a large white head. Aroma of citrus zest, grassy, sweet-ish malts. Taste is the same, citrusy, zesty, orange, malts, rindy bitterness. Light body, soft carbonation... actually it went flat and watery fairly quickly after pouring despite the lively head at the start. Inoffensive but somewhat dull.

0.5 l bottle from 100 Beers, Sofia. Shared with lovely Anja and Our K&K Igor. Murky golden, small, diminishing, off-white head. Malty, honey, nuts, lightly hopped, floral. Sweet, malty with background hops. Light body, soft to moderate carbonation, abrupt hoppy finish. Overrated.

Bottle at Vitamin B - London. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The aroma holds minerals, lemon rind, pale grains. Light bready sweet flavor with further pale grains, light pithy citrus, rind. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes a little grainy, with faint mineral edge, ple bread, light jammy lemon, some bitter hay and rind. Fine.

BOTTLE 50CL from Ivodoni1. Thanks!
11th August 2014.
Look: hazy golden-amber, off-white frothy to creamy head.
Aroma: sweet citrus hops and caramel malts, rotten peach.
Taste: fruity, cascade hops, a little prickly/young, distinct fungi/rotten fruit notes.
UPDATE. The brewer suggested I had a bottle spoiled during transportation and offered a replacement bottle. Will re-rate soon...
17th January 2015.
Weak citrus and flowery notes, as well as some piney/grassy accents. A harsh bitter scent can be found in both the aroma and the taste (finish). The body is quite solid, yet the flavour feels watery. Sub-par.
