PET bottle, courtesy of Hrabren who got it from the producer. Uncertain ABV. Much paler body than the traditional Gvirc, misty pale golden body traces of a head. Odd aroma, pleasant honeyish undertones, but also a light light sulphury touch and vague tartness. Sweetish, lean, dry, prickly taste. Oh look, a sparkling mead. Pleasant, lovely even honey presence, similar to the one in the lighter one, retaining drinkability, missing the off touches from the aroma.

1 l bottle from Bučijada Fair Market, Ivanić Grad. Shared with Marko. Hazy yellow to golden, small white head. The trouble is this pungent ripe fruit and vegetable aroma that didn't exist when the drink was poured as a taster at the fair. Probably a yeast problem but then again, it says on the label it's a permanent product. Medium body, soft carbonation. Slightly tart. Had a much nicer honey profile when I first had it.
