Canned 473ml. -from Ambasada Zagreb, shared with Marko & Hrabren. Unclear ruby red coloured, small off-white head that went away fast, light grapes in the nose. Tartish grapes, wood, notes of wine and light fruity with touch of alcohol in the finish.

Slight haze. Very thin head. On the nose, a little bit of allium, mushroom. Also, though, some stone fruit, though individual hop notes aren't necessarily coming through all that strongly. Medium bitterness. There's a little bit of malt sweetness that's actually quite nice.

16 oz. can, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Nose has plenty of citrusy hops, some pine, resinous hop oils, some earthiness, and crisp biscuity malt—that’s a lot of hop different hops, and I’m unsure of their cohesion. Flavour is rather jumbled, with a touch of dankness, earthy hops, some citrus, and bready malt. Rather timid hop expression, possibly because this is nearly 4 months old. As is, it’s okay, but clearly somewhat diminished.

473mL can. Pours clear pale gold with a white head. Dry pine, resin, melon, and some dank notes on the nose. Flavour has pine, resins, melon, nectarines. Sweet pale malts. Hop expression is pretty timid, might be a bit older than it needs to be. Pretty solid, but would have been better fresher.

0.473 l can shared with Ogi and Marko, thanks. Unclear copper to ruby red with a lilac hue. Minimal tan head. Aroma is vinous at first, red fruit, raspberry, hints of tobacco, grape skins and nice oaky wood notes balancing it out. Very soft touch of vanilla and caramel. Rich and fragrant. Smooth, light body, soft to moderate, intense mineral wood flavour, vanilla, some smoke, tobacco and hay slightly out of balance with a subdued fruity flavour, red fruit, vinous. Too thin, lacking complexity, not well balanced, not too harsh, finishes dry, moderately tart, with a hint of astringency. Interesting but not very well done.

Can from Ambasada that Ogi shared with Hrabren and me - for my unique rate no. 23000!!! And I mean... if the brewers aren't somehow aware of Oliver Dragojević, the odds they would nail a name as perfect as this are... wow. Anyway. No head, hazy ruby-amber body, the vagues traces of something headish along the edges of the glass. Sharp red wine notes in the aroma, mild mild cheese, light glue, funky 'nuff. Lean, dry wood-driven taste, tannic slightly, plenty of tart red wine notes around it, bit minerally. Feels like a slightly sub par wood aged red wine to be completely fair. It's not bad, it's a good beer, it's just not enticing and its profille lands it into a competition it cannot win against, well, actual wood aged red wines. Solid. And, again, the name is beyond fantastic.
