50cl Blik van SPAR Bovec. Premium staat er wel op, maar dit is onderdeel van het Union-logo. Oranjegouden kleur, witte kraag. Waterig, licht snoepjeszoet, perzik, weinig hoppig, zeer matig brouwsel. Lichte body.

50cl Blik van Spar Bovec. Donkerbruine kleur, beige kraag. Hint van melkchocolade, vleugje mokka of koffie, donkere mout, maar na een paar slokken erg vlak en saai, vrij smaakloos eigenlijk. Lichte body.

50cl Fles bij Gostilna Kosir. Helder lichtgouden kleur, witte kraag. Licht moutig, vrij zoet, wel nog hoppig in de geur, hint van aluminium, te zoet om echt heel aangenaam te zijn maar na een wandeling Smarna Gora op was dit helemaal prima.

Old rating from 2010 - 330ml bottle brought home by my mate from his honeymoon. Good lad! Pours golden with a large foamy head. Aromas & tastes of mild citrus, something resembling cardboard & malt. Light to moderate body. Light bitter finish. Just about drinkable

Slovenia must be the most boring country to drink beer in Europe. Perhaps I was looking in the wrong pubs and supermarkets but all I could find was this one and Lasko.Ordinary macro lager and Laslo is still better.
Update: Tried this beer again thinking I was buying a new Croatian beer. Sweet annoying syrupy malts ,some grass. Awful

0.50l can. Aroma is floral, citrusy, grassy and grainy. Pours cloudy dark golden color with large soapy off-white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts refreshing citrusy and yeasty with notes of sauerkraut and butter, following is floral, honeyish and bready, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is average bitter. Light body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. Too young, too buttery and slightly infected…
