Can from Beers of Europe, drunk at home. Indigo, only slightly translucent with a tiny film of puce head. Lighter scent than I'd expected: the berry is certainly prominent without being too dazzling. Can't get much of the lavender from the aroma, however, it's dominant on the taste. It's got the sweet/sour of slightly underripe blueberry, overlaid with the herbal lavender. Long finish with light tartness lingering on the tongue. Medium carbonation. Pretty incredible.

Can. Dark pinkish color with medium light pinkish head. Aroma of blueberries and lavender. taste, blueberries, lavender, floral, lacobacilus. Light sourness. Bit more lavender than I wish in my beer, but still enjoyable beer.

330ml can courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Pours a deep red colour, with a reddish-pink foam head and aroma of blueberry & herbs. Taste is tart, citric rind, sour fruity, blueberry, apple strudel, lavender, alittle biscuit. Light bodied, soft carbonation, dry sour salty finish. Very drinkable.

Limenka 0,33L - kupljena u Spicy daysu - jako zanimljiva kombinacija okusa upakirana u kiselo pivo, možda malo previše kiselo i suho no ipak i dalje jako zanimljivo

26-04-20 // can from brewery online shop. Crazy deep red color. Fine bubbly pinkish head, quickly fading. Nose is indeed a blend of blueberry and lavender. Lovely how the lavender blends in. Good acidity. Kettle sour style. Full bodied blueberry juicy. Lavender only very subtle in taste.
