Bottle, 0.50l, shared with AleLiquids6 and kitchen sink. Aroma is grainy, ripe fruity, floral, yeasty and sugary. Pours murky brown orange color with thick soapy tan-like head, lots of yeast residue and sparkling appearance. Tastes sweet grainy, ripe tropical fruity with banana note, yeasty following and average bitter finish. Medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. Definitely a fail…

Bottled 500ml. -from Pomalo Zagreb. Amberish coloured, medium sized off-white head, light tangerine in the nose. Sweetish malty, tangerine, touch of caramel and light phenols with short bitterish finish.

Bottle, 0.5l. Hazy deep copper pour, half finger frothy off-white head, medium retention. Sticky lacing on the glass. Herbal and grassy nose, grains, bread, light fruity touches. Medium body, medium to high carbonation. Fizzy, prickly mouthful, chewy texture. A bit too much Co2, somewhat bloating, not so easily drinkable. Bittersweet taste. Aroma of rye, wheat, grass. Toasted caramel, bread. Earthy, minerals, phenolic. Lingering bitterness, somewhat harsh and misplaced. Unbalanced. Medium lasting finish, bitter, light fruity notes. Nothing to write home about.

0.5 l bottle thanks to Marko, shared with Pliš and Marko. Hazy amber, small to medium off-white head. Lightly hoppy, leaves, ripe vegetables, plastic phenols, ripe fruit. Bland, sharp, some bitterness, fruity and herbal flavours. Light to medium body, some caramely sweetness, some toast, moderate finish, unpleasant.

Bottle from Goblet ZG, who pulled it really, so I didn't expect much. Slightly oxidized dark orange-amber-red body, off-white head, small. Lightly tart aroma, wheaty tartness, wheat malt, saliva, subdued phenolics, wheat malts, some tangerine touches, vague vague bitterness. Can't call this an IPA honestly, took a heavy beating from the bottling line perhaps, but this is just... meh.
