Can, kondly donated by Gurthnar, many thanks, man. Straw color. Aroma of cucumber. Sweet taste, cucumber, notes of mint, homeopatic notes of basic cider. Definitelly result of mighty chemics. But... This is drinkable when cold and as chemical brothers cucumber cider is OK.

Can via local store (cukráreň pod domom). Very pale straw colour. Very sweet, yet thin bodied, med-high carbonation. Light sourness. Moderate apple flavour, mixing with med-high cucumber flavouring and light mint. Actually a pretty decent combo. Everything mentioned is 100% artificial, this is a clean chemical mix. But given what it is, I would say it is good. Easy drinking, interesting.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Yoav's place. Very pale golden. Apple, artificial, cucumber, mint. I hate cucumber.

Can, on sale, from Albert Butovice. Very clear, pale yellow-golden body, no head. Big aroma, cucumber ruling the day, very little traces of tart apple, traces of mint, maybe. Cucumber dominates the taste, which is a bit dry, but not too tart, with mint coming in the finish. I like the flavor combo, but the mouthfeel is way too dry to be fun to drink. Shame. Don't hate it, but not something I'll repeat.
