Can from somewhere, shared with Gurthnar. Hazy golden body with a pinkish tinge, off-white head. Lactic aroma, covering light, pleasant raspberry and pomegranate notes, bit oily, mildly funky. The fruit notes are okay in the taste, which is weirdly oily, odd funky touches, not too oleasant, low acidity but high lactic acid flavor somehow, flat finish, oddly herbal and dusty, low alcohol taste. A bit of a mess... Hasn't aged gracefully at all.

Shared by Marko. Fruit is the center. I like that it feels natural, but the rasp clashes with the grenate imo. Med-high sour, med-light tart, mix lacto-fruity. Not very beery, but that is ok here. The more I drink it, the more I like it, but it still feels somehow off.

Canned 440ml. -from Pomalo Zagreb. Dark amber coloured, medium sized off-white head, light berries and wet socks in the nose. Acidic raspberry, light pomegranate, bit fruity and yeasty with touch of rosehip in the finish. Light earthy also.

A sample can from the brewery, thanks Friend Pero. Shared with Kajto and him. Clear amber to red with an orange hue, small head. Aroma is berries, pomegranate, some citrus and some candy. Aroma is a good balance between lactic sourness and tart berries. Aroma is berries, pomegranate, tangerine, tart peach, sweet candy. Soft to moderate carbonation, light to medium body, light tart finish.
