Bottle kindly delivered by colleague Juraj. Thanks pal. Even though... This could be an essence how Heineken fails to deliver something else than lager, unless they buy already well established brewery. Sweetish, green apples... Meh. Nope

500ml can. Pours copper with a medium-sizes brief white head. Aroma is citrusy hops, caramel, pines notes. Taste is more citrus fruits, medium bitterness, caramel. Not really that pleasant.

Bottle in Varna. Pours clear amber-brown. Aroma has a touch of citric and grassy hops, but all very low. Some malt too. Body is medium, mostly bitter and not much else. Lively carbonation, a backbone too weak to carry this, and more herbal bitterness. Dryish, and drinkable.

Can at the hotel in Sofia - picked up at a local shop. Pours clear copper-gold with abfrothy white head that fades out. Dough and grain in the nose, a scattering of pine. Light sweet flavour, some vague piney bitterness, sun-kissed pale grains, orange peel. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. OK balance in the finish, but it is fairly bland - more grain, pine, a little grass. Quite basic overall.
