Tap at Ambasada, where it was only released. Misty yellow body. Complex, ever-changing aroma, starting with berry notes, a touch of paint, apple peel, light vinegar, hops in evidence but also a fair bit of base cider complexity. Smells like some hoppy saisons. Tart, funky, lean, dry taste, citric sourness, vague peachy hop, light vinegar, vague vague touch of what I call leather in cider... Very interesting really, but apparently lost a heap of hoppiness since being kegged first, which shows. Interesting how funkier it is than the base I had a couple of sips of. Fun and the entire concept of Buna rocks, let alone coupled with experimental spinoffs.

Bottle from CroCraft & More. Bottled in 2018, what a random, rare find! Clear golden body. Actually beautiful spicy, sweetish appley aroma, juicy, very well balanced. Sweetish taste, quite well balanced, cloves and cinnamon indeed, very well integrated spices. The finish gets a bit shaky, but this is a tasty wintery treat.

Bottle, thanks Young Marijan for sharing this with us! Hazy holden body, well carbonated, big head going a away fast. Lovely juicy apple aroma, flowery, pleasant miiiiiild tartness keeping things fresh. Tart, soft, wild apple taste, vague funkier touches, ends a bit light, empty. Again very good stuff, the finish lowers the impression.
