330ml Bottle (Projekt, Ljubljana) - Copper coloured. The aroma is slightly biscuity but also tart. The taste is pretty much the same and I suspect this is infected.

0.33l bottle, thx Ogi for sharing! Hazy brownish body, off-white head. Spicy, phenolic, bit vegetal aroma. Sour taste, juicy but in a bad way, vaguely floral, quite a bit phenolic. Dead and gone, probably the same batch PivoMan had it from (no it's not, it's from May 2025)... No trace of whatever it was originally...

Bottle. Darker amebr, coppery, thin offwhite head, nonlasting. Mild biscuity nose with some grassy hoppy notes in teh back. Milder bitterness, some biscuity sweetness. Lingering bittery touch. Lighter body. Easy to drink. Simple and proper.
