330ml can bought at a supermarket called Tommy in Dubrovnik. Clear, late straw coloured body under a fragile, white head. Light aroma of pale malt. Sweet corn mixed with herbal hops, but most of all rather anonymous in taste. Lively carbonated and dull (27.08.2008).

Medium offwhite head. Yellow body with light carbonation. Rubbery grainy aroma with sugary notes. Dry-sweet sugary mealy grainy taste. Harsh dusty mouthfeel, which I did not like. Dry grassy aftertaste with papery notes. Not a good beer. (0.33l can from Knut Albert, labelled Union Svetlo Pivo.)

Biggish white head disappears, leaving uneven lumpy islands of foam. Yellow body with carbonation. Rubbery straw aroma with hoppy (wow!) notes. Dry milky rubbery straw taste with chalky hop notes. Surprisingly clean palate. Dry papery hop aftertaste leaves lingering cardboard taste. Not at all bad for an alcohol-free. (0.5l can from Knut Albert, labelled Union Bezalkoholno Pivo.)

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a deep amber glare and a lacing tan head. Aroma is breadish malt with a mild fruity notes. Flavour starts breadish towards roasted malty with a light frity sweetness showing through. Fruity and bitter finish. Very tasty and classic bohemian dark (although from Slovenia).

30/07 0.5 l bottle. Poured pale yellow body with small head. Some kind of industrial lemony aroma, with notes of malts, which is usually not the case in radlers. Industrial, artificial flavor as well, but not so bad, sweet for sure, but much less than regular radlers compromising with its thin body. Refreshing and drinkable, but boring and feels quite artificial.
