Can from Goblet shared with Hrabren. Misty orange-golden body, off-white head. Interesting, pleasant aroma, distinct, big herbal and resiny notes, vaguely oniony, but also lovely soft citric aromas as to be expected from the hops, some malty touches underneath, perfumey slightly. Can't say I feel it's 100% on point but nice. Lean, light taste, lightly creamy, dryish, vaguely chalky, nice citric presence, herbal underneath. Bit mixed bag. Not bad, not fantastic.

Can from Goblet, shared with Hrabren. Murky full yellow body, white head. Creamy, juicy aroma, orange and peach, lightly oaty and vaguely herbal, very nice at first, but vaguely yeasty of all things later - weird. Or something along those lines. Creamy, lean, juicy taste, oaty, herbal and citric, honeyish touches... it's just that the herbal profile, lightly the malty in the taste just don't do it for me. Bitterish herbal finish. I can see Alder's positive touches, I can see Maskeron's, but somehow it just didn't work together in the end. Not the best style they picked for a collab honestly - should have partied within Alder's full comfort zone I guess for better effect.

0.4 l can at Valhalla craft beer bar, Zagreb. Clear golden, small off-white head. Malty and grainy character, sweet honey and floral notes. A sharp moment, maybe alcohol. Soft texture, soft carbonation, moderately sweet. Some tartness, some hops in the finish.

Can from Goblet. Pitch black, off-white head. Coffee, chocolate and dark bread in the aroma, creamy but going away soon enoguh. Sweetish blueberry.like note quickly sticking to the black chocolate notes, fairly full, ending creamy, a bit citric. No real bitterness, though some touches of that do show up. All the flavor notes are fine, and here, though it's a bit juicy, for the first time with Alder, it's the mouthfeel that I'm not convinced by - juicy and then ending slightly too dry. Still, excellent stuff!

Can at Goblet ZG. Hazy golden body, small white head, soft carbonation. Creamy soft flowery-herbal aroma, light soft maltiness, honeyish. Subtle, nice. Lean, soft, drinkable taste, creamy, honeyish maltiness, subtle flowery notes, herbal notes near the finish. The cleanest bock in the universe in the taste, all is subtle, but it's so drinkable for the ABV it's insane.
