Can. A light yellow beer with a huge head. The aroma is sweet with a nice note of straw from the hops, but also a cardboard note. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of straw, but also a light metallic note making the finish dry combined with a sligt bitter note. Not too bad for a cheap super market beer.

2 l bottle from Metro. Strange, this is their beer, but had only one sixpack. BB 18/10. Retired? Poured clear yellow body with medium head. Aroma similar to those of Prima beers, but much more unpleasant, grainy, corn, with some ugly malts. Flavor had some sense though, although still bad, bitterish at moments sour and grassy. Finish sour, rotten vegetable hints. Very bad, even worser than Pub svijetlo, but then still better, with more character than those K Plus and Mercator beers. I knew it would be such, still I bought the sixpack, but...those are the sacrifices we fools make for the ratebeer :)

0.5 l can from Metro. Poured very murky deep yellow/orange body with moderately big white head. Aroma is really nice, banana, wheat, fruity overall. Flavor however stands much below, although not bad it’s too watery and lightly bitter which does not fit the style. Best enjoyed while drinking very slowly, then true weizen character can be felt. Moderate carbonated as felt in palate. Finish is a bit bitter, also sourish, but it all soon disappeared and that weizen sweetness left. Very good beer, didn’t have better in a while, although light for what it is. Anyway, glad I bought the sixpack.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear yellow with a white head. Aroma is slight lemonish blended with a slight malty aroma. Medium sweet malty flavour, with a slight citrus fruity note. Ends mellow dry with a blend of lemon and bitterhops without getting really bitter. Bland, especially for an urtyp.

0.33 l can. Poured pale golden body with medium creamy white had. Aroma of grassy hops, sweetish malts, some sourness too. Flavor is very mild, some slight bitterness well balanced with sweetness, not too bad, but nothing special.. Oily textured and with not much carbonation, it’s an interesting helles. Finish is just a hint sourish and sweetish. First few sips I didn’t like it, but although definitely nothing special, it’s quite good for a supermarket beer.

From a 2l bottle courtesy of and shared with ozujsko (thanks!)Golden body, medium sized thick white head that went away quite slowly. The nose is odd... grain, corn, weak touch of piney hops (odd). Taste... a tad honeyish, touch of lime, sickly malt, alcohol, apple... watery cidery crap.

Canned. Golden colour, mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma is hops and some malts. Really skunky thing. Flavour is malts, hops and metal. Not too pleasant finish, but is drinkable.
