Bottle, huge thanks Dina and Hrabren! hazy golden body, off-white head. Big, sweet, pungent jammy stone fruit aroma. Very light, very empty taste, some orange notes in the background, vague caramel touch, yup, Hrabren is spot on, though I don't get the medicinal bit... maybe he gave himself more of a yeast shot? But yeah, vague yeasty touches that don't help. Indeed herbal and grassy mild hoppy finish. Dunno. I don't hate it really, but it's definitely unclean and lightly flawed.

0.33bnottle thanks to little Dina who brought it from Sarajevo. Hazy golden, small off-white head. Mild hoppy and malty aroma, stone fruit mostly. A medicinal touch. Blood orange touch in the back. Also caramel malts. Light body, soft carbonation, herbal, grassy aroma, sharp earthy hops, bland, light finish. No bitterness.

Bottle, huge thanks Dina for bringing this for Hrabren and me! Hazy amber-golden body. Genuinely pleasant aroma for me, huge lychee, solid maltiness, honey and a lot of tea. No intensive phenols here, though some do come in later, the hops hiding them well. The taste is a bit muddled and subdued though, but some stone fruit, even tropical notes are there, vague, er, mayo touch, lightly yeasty. I reckon this may be a very good recipe foiled by the sub par bottling / carbonation conditions experienced so often on the Bosnian market, for sadly understandable reasons. Solid homebrew vibe, giving them slightly higher than is fully deserved - as I think they are onto something here.

0.33 l bottle thanks to Dina who brought it from Sarajevo. Shared with Marko. Hazy golden, moderate to large creamy off-white head. Yeasty and phenolic aroma, spicy, fruit emerges, ripe fruit. Medicinal, also cardboard. Malts. Sweet malty, fruity and spicy flavour. Nice toasted malts, dried fruit, some caramel. Moderate to high carbonation. Light finish, low bitterness. Quite bland.
