Bottled from Pomalo Zagreb. Slightly hazy full darker, slightly coppery amber body, not much of the off-white head. Sweetish aroma, mostly caramelly, lightly floral, vague yeasty and vegetal touches, lightly herbal and minerally. Surprisingly floral-hoppy dry, lightly minerally taste, somewhat bready, caramelly taste, that's a fair bit dried out, honeyish, thankfully light yeasty, lightly phenolic touches from refermentation, vaguely vegetal, prickly bite in the finish, though it felt almost flat otherwise. I mean... this isn't clean, the bottle conditioning did it no favors, would be interesting to try it on tap - if the vegetal notes are DMS or refermentation byproducts, but it shows some promise.

Bottle, 0.33l. Deep amber pour, two finger frothy off-white head, long lasting, good retention. Sticky lacing on the glass. Malty on the nose, toasted caramel, bready, herbal and fruity notes in the background. Light body, medium carbonation, lively. Watery mouthfeel and texture, lightweight, fizzy, refreshing. Easily drinkable. Balanced bittersweet taste. Somewhat weak aroma, watered down. Caramel malt, bread, grass. Herbal notes, spice, floral and fruity notes. Mild hop bitterness lingering in the background. Short lasting finish. Slightly watery but solid thirst quencher. Ok.
