0.33 l can from Pivoteka Zagreb. Shared with little Dina. Opaque orange with a reddish tint, medium diminishing off-white head. Moderately hoppy, tropical and citrusy, although it might not be as fresh, DD is unreadable. Definitely a herbal and spicy touch. There is a funky, slightly acidic yeasty presence. Ripe fruit, leaves. Flavour is malty, slightly cardboard, leaves, ripe fruit, zest, slightly yeasty, slightly sharp. Moderate to high carbonation, moderate to full body, quite fruity, quite juicy, there is a lingering bitterness with a familiar herbal touch throughout. Complex, interesting, slightly unbalanced, slightly unfresh.
