Can, 0.5l. Cloudy yellow pour, one finger soapy white head, short lasting. No lacing. Herbs and lemons on the nose. A bit on the sweet and juicy side. Thin body, medium carbonation. Average mouthfeel, smooth texture. Taste is mostly on the sweet side with subtle sour notes thrown into the mix. Aroma-wise, not much of a witbier. It's juicy. Very juicy. And quite sweet also. Peach. Apricot. Lemons. Sugar. Perfumy aftertaste. Some spices. Not really picking up much of wheat in there. Lingering juicy sweetnes, a bit sticky mouthfeel. I don't know, really. It's more like a radler to be perfectly honest. Not a bad one but still, a radler. Drinkable and refreshing, yes, but don't expect true witbier because it's not.

As always - a fuck you, also, eat shit for whoever's responsible for the bug that just ate my pretty damn detailed rating for this on desktop. The actual review, reconstructed: Bottled., thanks Hana! So, Carlsberg Croatia decided to push this everywhere after the failure of their fake-craft Panonska brand. Including paid article-adverts which drew the wrong kind of attention to it. Oh well. It has a murky golden-yellow body with a white head. The aroma is disturbingly extremely juicy for the style, huge peach juice or something similar, with traces of yeastiness or something. The taste goes the same route, with the peachy juiciness perching on a body with good carbonation and yeasty touches around the edges, some wheaty smoothness. Huh, better than the Panonska beers, but not saying much, this is a beer that will certainly find its niche, and even though it deserves some degree of hate, it's not that bad.

Blek guldisig. Sött från socker, vete, citrusextrakt, apelsin. Smakar ganska kemiskt och tillgjort, men släcker törsten en varm sommardag.

330 ml bottle into pint glass, bottled on 4/28/2018. Pours fairly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 2 finger dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big lemon, peach, pear, melon, orange zest, red apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, spices, pale/wheat malts, and light earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, peach, pear, melon, orange zest, red apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal, floral, grassy, zesty bitterness; yeast/coriander spiciness; and slight wheat tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, peach, pear, melon, orange zest, red apple, coriander, peppercorn, clove, light banana/bubblegum, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, spices, pale/wheat malts, and light earthy hop flavors; with a solid malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is an excellent witbier. All around great fruity/spicy yeast, spices, pale/wheat malts, and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/spicy/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesome balance of Wit yeast complexity, spices, and pale/wheat malts; with solid earthy hop presence/balance. A really enjoyable offering, and spot on style example. One of the better imported Witbiers I've had.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
