PET from the brewery. Similar character to the other two beers, we are tasting this one last. It has the same earthy grassy junipery character, moderate strenght. Light waxy honeyish character. Med-thin body, med-low carbonation. Med-light sweetness, medium bitterness, light earthy tartish feeling. Overall - weird, but good, I think I am finally beginning to come around and like this weird style. I would still be curious to find out more about how this is made. All the three beers have a kinda similar character base, which I attribute to yeast and brewing style.

PET from the brewery. I had this first when I bought it and a second bottle came with me to Slovakia. We are drinking them 10 days after I bought them. It gushed a bit. Back then it was sweet as fuck, now it evidently continued fermenting in my fridge. It is not bad now either. I wish I could taste it somewhere in between these two states. Now it is medium bodied, carbonation leaves surprisingly quickly considering it gushed. Med-light bitterness and sweetness. Med-light juniper-like sprucey something, light earthiness, grassy. Moderate honey character remains and comes forward as the beer warms up. Overall it is hard if I like it more now or back then. Good, better than Vytauto in my opinion, but Vytauto was obviously older, further down the refermentation alley. I would be curious to know how this is brewed.

PET from the brewery. Very weird. Med-thin body. Medium weird tartish earthy sourness. Light alcoholic warmth, light bitterness, low sweetness. Does not feel spoiled, but also does not feel normal, and is quite different than what others wrote in ancient tasting notes here and elsewhere. Assertive spruce-like character, moderate green apples, and some weird spiciness, a bit of something like anise and hay. Drinkable, but weird, would be hard to finish a bottle by myself. Maybe I could give more points if I knew anything about what it actually is, but it seems like nobody knows, so it is what it is.
