Tap at 100 piv. Med-thin body, medium cqrbonation. High sourness, light sweetness, background bitterness. Combination lacto and lemon giver a really powerful sour punch. Med-high blueberry is the center of flavour. Background vanilla, not really noticeable for me, just rounding it. Intense, kinda hard to drink, mouth-puckering. Good but not great.

Can from Damian. Ruby color with small pinkish head. Aroma of blueberriesand vanilla. Taste is clear blueberries, tons of vanilla, lemon is hardly recognizable. More on sweet side, than sour. Not too much beery inside, too sweet, for me not well balanced beer.

0.44 l can from Valhalla Craft Beer Bar, Zagreb shared with Marko and Kermis at his creepy AB&B apartment. Unclear deep purple, minimal head. Fruity Dr. Oetker fruity berries candy aroma. Blueberry juice. A touch of vanilla. Actually sour. Tart berries and sour lemon flavour almost covering the lousy sugary syrupy part. The lemon saves it. Medium body, moderate carbonation, puckering finish. Citric acid powder finish.

Canned 440ml. -from Spicy Days Zagreb. Purple coloured, medium sized pinkish head, lemon and mild blueberry nose. The taste is just as it says in the name; blueberry, lemon and mild vanilla. No trace of alcohol.

Can from Valhalla shared with Hrabren and Kermis at Kermis' epic AirBNB. Murky red-purple body with a pinkish white head. Lactose and vanilla in the aroma, going towards cookie notes, with blueberry and light lemon as well. Medium to thin body, dominated fully by the lemon presence, with some so-so blueberry underneath, with light cookie notes from the vanilla and lactose. The lemon is sharp but kinda does balance the sweetness out initially... before overwhelming everything else. Well hidden alcohol if nothing. Interesting but wouldn't repeat.

Can shared with Marko and Hrabren. Fairly hazy purple with a small short lived pink head. Aroma of blueberry, red berries, lemon and vanilla. Flavour is moderate sweet and moderate to heavy sour. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
