Keg at Pivnica Prostor, Split. (4.5%) Clear golden, small head. Aroma of pears and hay. Dry with light body and rounded mouthfeel. Bread, pears and some kveik induced mouldyness. Mid bitter finish. Interesting and quenching.

Tap at Prostor, thx Riža! Peachy hoppy aroma, light maltiness. Bit spicy softly malty taste, herbal, light stone fruit. Nicely drinkable, bit rough in the finish, not really feeling like DDH but works!

Amber. Aroma is cake dough orange zest fine grass, very delicate floral notes. Taste is balanced sweet and bitter with a very floral and zesty finish. Super nice and light fluffy.

(2x) 0.5l bottle courtesy of Leo himself, who graciously shared it with us while we were waiting for centuries at Prostor for pizza to arrive. Murky red body, pinkish head. Red wine aroma, literally red wine - maybe dry sour cherry wine is like that, dunno, but yeah... Creamy, sourish cherry taste, vinuous, notes of almond. Some liiiight phenolic notes vaguely in the finish - as the only odd thing about it. Leo made a pretty good one here!

Tap at Protokol/Prostor and then at Crew Bar. Seems that John Lemon is now brewed at Mandrill, potentially a different recipe. Misty orange-golden body, white head. Smooth, creamy aroma, citric and a bit spicy, phenolic. Smooth, lightly tart citric taste, somewhat herbal, nicely spicy, rosemary and suchlike. Well balanced and tasty wit!

From tank at the brewery. Reddish body, some head that went away soon. Slightly funky, but pleasant cherry-driven aroma. Sweet cherry-driven taste, not overdone but notable not meady-sweet all the way, light honey / fermented honey meady notes, vaguely funky so. I mean, this isn't half-bad as a beverage - I could easily have had more, and I see people who like this kind of stuff going for it. It's very much far from what a mead is though originally, tugging at the edges of the style. I see this scoring both slightly higher and much lower with others.

0.5 l bottle from Pomalo Beer Store, Zagreb. Shared with the Vulture Brewery. Hazy golden, medium white head. Intense yeasty, phenolic, fruity, slightly funky flavour. Kveik gone wild or some Brett presence. Flavour is bretty yeasty, funky, phenolic, spicy. Overwhelming. Light body. No malty or hoppy character whatsoever. Dry finish.
