Tap at PB Festival, thanks Miro! Golden pour, white head. Nose is huge mint, with some lactic sourness and lemon. Taste is still big on mint, but not as much as the nose was; there's more room for the citrusy notes and the sourness as well. Light bodied with average carbonation, pretty easy to drink. Interesting idea well done, and I don't even like mint that much.

Tap at the LB fest, courtesy of Miro. Opaque yellow pour with a white head. Nose is lactic, a bit harshly boozy with no pronounced rum character tho and it has that funky fermented pineapple aroma in there too, pretty intensely, much more so than in most beers with pineapple in them. The aroma is more in-balance, showing lactic notes, citrus zest, pineapple, light oak and rum. Light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Maybe a bit too boozy and out of balance here and there but definitely a nice concept nevertheless.

Tap at the LB fest, courtesy of Miro. Deeper brown/blackish pour with a red hue and an off-white head. Nose is roasted barley, chocolate, light coffee, berries and stone fruits. Quite tannic and somewhat funky. Taste is sweetish malts upfront, there's cocoa, chocolate, some dark sugars and then it shows acidic, fruity, funky notes. Closes with a dry, fruity and tartish finish, has a medium to full body and soft carbonation. I dig the dark and funky stuff, like this.

Tap at the LB fest, thanks Marko! Nem szeretem a milkshake IPA-kat, de ez valahogy működött, jó volt a passion fruit-komló kombó összhangja, meg a laktóz sem volt túltolva hálisten.
