500 ml bottle, best before 09/10/15. English label says "Lager Beer with Caramel coloring." Is that so? Yet it pours as straw pale as any Lite. Still, it looks alright for a light lager, with its sudsy head and all. Slight skunk and oxidation is bearable. Taste was going all right as a bowling alley beer at the start, then took a detour with a mouthful of sugar. Slight note of noble hop pepper saves this being a wreck. If I were near the brewery, I’d sure try this fresh. I guess even though the label says "Montenegro," looks like RB will count this as my first Serbian beer instead. The things I do to keep up with the former Soviet and Yugoslav republics.

500ml can into shaker. Very faint metallic nose. Crystal clear amber beer with thin solid white head. Medium carbonation. Harshly carbonated on tasting. Strong herby, earthy taste which dominates everything. Pretty unpleasant. Eventually a little bubblegum sweetness is noticeable but it doesn’t last, the taste of dirt soon returns.

BOTTLE (steinie) 33 CL at 4,6% abv. Clear straw, white head. Smells sweetish, even fruity. Dusty grains and spicy pungent light bitter finish. Not bad.

Pours a clear golden color, topped with a frothy white head. Malty aroma, some grainy notes - nothing special to pick up. Taste is slightly sweet, mild bitterness in the finish and a bit metallic. Not unpleasant, nothing special. Typical macro lager from this area.

pours hazy salmon orange colour with a quickly disappearing white head and no lacing. aroma: grapefruit juice, tonic water. flavour is grapefruit soda, slightly bitter, not overwhelmingly sweet. alcohol is not noticeable at all. it has nothing to do with beer, of course, but drinkable and refreshing as soda.
