Bottle from CroCraft & More. Hazy golden body, off-white head. Bit perfumey aroma, orange and a hint of cotton candy. Lean, dry taste, bit citric but mainly black tea, stronger bitterness than expected, basically no malt profile, out of balance, with oxidation in balanced. Eh, shame.

0.33 l can thanks to Marko, shared with Ogi and him. Hazy orange, greyish hue, small off-white head. Aroma is moderately hoppy, tropical candy, ripe fruit, cardboard and quite some green apple. Flavour is artificial fruit powder, some sweetness, minimal bitterness. Thin, soft, watery, finishes dry.

Bottle from CroCraft & More. Clear golden body, whiteish head. Floral, cookie dough aroma, bit herbal. Smooth light taste, bready maltiness, floral, bit cookie doughy taste, slightly peppery by the finish. I mean, this is a classic Dalmatian blond ale (hey, there are worse "styles") really, as it should be.
