Can at ChrisO Holiday Tasting, London - thanks to yours truly. Pours cloudy yellow with a fine, white foam head. Sugary orange and lemon nose. Medium sweet flavor with lots of fresh and juicy orange, along with light lemony tang. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet finish with further juicy orange character. Not overly cloying (high praise indeed!), fairly tasty and refreshing.

Can at ChrisO tasting, thanks to Leighton - palate cleanser III, 30/12/12. Obscured light orange with a thin off white head that clears to the edge and leaves a small film. Nose is weak orange squash, powedered orange drinks machine capsule from the 80’s. Tastes of orange radler, weak at that. Light in body, spritzy carbonation, artificial sweetness in the finish. Way down the bottom end of the Bulgarian low ABV fruit beer spectrum - I wouldn’t go hunting for this one too hard, a cheeky trade perhaps ?

Pale yellow. Aroma of slightly skunky herbal hop. Sweetish corn-malts, faint herbal hop. Ok industrial and bland but with a tiny bit off hop character.

2L PET bottle from a Bulgarian shop. Clear golden colour, thin white head. Aroma of light grain, light straw. Flavour is almost absent, carbonated water, light grain, very light citrus bitter finish. Watery, thin, low carbonation. Drinkable because of absence of flavour.
