Can, thx Hrabren for sharing! Lightly hazy golden body, off-white head. A bit of DMS and floral-herbal German hops, some minerals, bit grainy, I mean, quite German-smelling, in good and bad ways. Smooth, lean, light taste, bit herbal-floral, dryish finish, low bitterness... but the DMS does come out with some grainy notes. Almost what it should be, and refreshingly not infected.

0.5 l can from Zbir Checkpoint, Novi Sad. Shared with Ogi and Marko. Hazy amber, small off-white head. Aroma is intense sour cabbage, which covers nearly all other aromas. Hints of malt and spice. Flavour is tart vegetable and sour cabbage. Unfortunately, the beer is infected and completely ruined. Medium body, soft texture, dry earthy finish. This gave me a gag reflex and I never experienced that with beer. Down the drain!

Can, thx Hrabren for bringing it from the Checkpoint and sharing with us. Hazy dark amber body, off-white head. Cabbage and phenols dominate the sharply sour and slightly malty aroma. Awful taste combining sauerkraut with sweet maltiness, almost zero hops apart from a vague bitterness, medium body. Best before 19.11.2026... fucking hell... Undrinkable, repulsive. Triggered my gag reflex and that's saying something.

As 8.4 % abv. 0.5 l can from Zbir Checkpoint, Novi Sad. Shared with Ogi and Marko. Hazy orange, small off-white head. Aroma is moderately hoppy, fruity, tropical and orange but there is a generous amount of sour cabbage. Hints of peppery and plastic phenols. Flavour is tropical at first but terribly astringent plastic. Medium body, smooth and juicy texture. Sweet finish with some alcohol. Unpleasant.

Can, thx Hrabren for sharing with Ogi and me! Hazy full golden body, off-white head. Phenolic notes in the aroma, some perfumey stone fruit and citrus... huh, likely infected only less than some. The taste is combining a sweetish maltiness with low citric notes, some fruit esters, bit of warming alcohol, touch of fusels perhaps and definitely a good bit of phenols. Not as godawful as some of the others, but...

Can, 5.7% version. Hazy orange-golden body, off-white head. Perfumey peachy aroma, pleasant really. AND FINALLY NO INFECTION! Lean, dry, soft taste, peachy mostly, light brown sugar touches, no bitterness. Not perfect, but works!

Can, thx Hrabren! Shared with Ogi (who won't rerate it for the worse) and me. Misty dark amber body, off-white head. Cabbage and resin in the perfumey aroma, bit floral maybe. Lean, dry taste, cabbage infection over some citrus and vague resin. The fuck?! The good thing is that the infection almost covered the alcohol, but there's some warmth in the finish. Tragic, 3/3 3bir beers fucked up this night.
