330ml bottle at Gradska Kavana, old town Dubrovnik. Crystal clear, dark golden body. Decent, creamy-white head leaving lacing on the glass. Poor in aroma, except for some smell of hard water and alcohol. Sweet figs in flavour run over by harsh metallic alcohol. Medium bodied. Disappointing (25.08.2008).

Bottle @ home. Golden orange, white head. Smell of grain and alcohol sweetness, some skunkiness. Taste is sweet, cardboard, skunky, typical malt liquor. Just a stronger and worse version of a pilsener.

Can, alc. 7.9 % (BB 11/2007)
Golden color, small white head. Sweet papery, cardboardish, malty aroma. Apple-like sweet beer, almost sugary, ok malt profile, but more or less this is for getting drunk, not to enjoy.

0.33 l bottle. Poured deep golden body with medium fluffy white head that went away pretty slowly. Initially, very nice aroma of citrus hops with lot of sweetish malts, too. Nice... Flavor, well, sweetish, a bit metallic at moments, with some alcohol felt. Quite empty bodied, with that alcohol that is specially felt in the finish which is also pleasantly sweetish. All in all, not so bad at all, but not good either. Makes it a convenient slow drinking beer after a dinner while watching TV.
