0.33 l bottle from Ambasada, Zagreb, shared with Ogi. Hazy dark golden, small off-white head. Sour fruit, overripe fruit, cheesy, goaty and funky. Soft herbal notes. Kimchi. Intense barnyard aroma, quite overwhelming. Hints of plastic phenols. A candy touch, arancini. Complex, not entirely pleasant. Soft texture, aggressive bitterness in terms of phenolic and tannic, black tea. Not so much hoppy bitterness, but hops definitely adding to the fruity profile. Ripe fruit also present. Some sweetness. A bit rough, but standing out.

Tap. Unclear amber-orange color with slightly off-white head. Aroma is mild hops, wood, leather, tobacco. Taste is leather, earthy, mild hops again, mild tartness. Full-bodied, with tannins, soft carbonation. Nice!

23/IX/23 - on tap @ Borefts Beer Festival Day 2, BB: n/a (2023-715) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!
Clear orange beer, creamy dense off-white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: malty touch, very fruity, sourish impression, a hint of vinegar, a little funky, wood notes. MF: soft to no carbon, medium to light body. Taste: gentle acidity up front, a bit of sweet malts, bitter touch, grains, bit lemony, ok. Aftertaste: fruity, funky, oxidized, orange peel, bitter and spicy, some wood, dry finish, some tannins.

Bottle. Hazy amber. Soft malts, lactic Alvinne yeast notes, soft oak, tons of grassy and weedy hops, lime zest, caramel. Malty, fruity and sour, but all balanced and with a nice bitter finish. Nice.
