16/08 0.5 l bottle at some bar in Belgrade. It poured hazy greenish yellow body with small head. Bit fake lemony and artficial sweetener aroma. Flavor was quite similar, not too sweet, lemony and lemon peel. Lot of carbonation in its thinner body, I guess it adds to refreshing properties of this juice. Sharp and short lemony finish. Not so interesting one, tastes pretty artificial. BTW, thanks to this, and all the hype about radlers this summer, fruit beers are now on my second place of tasted styles. After pale lager...oh gee, need a long vacation on some more beery place!

Bottle at the Zmaj bar in Belgrade. Poured a full darker yellow misty body with a small, thick white head that went away relatively fast. The supple, soft nose brought forwart lactic orangey-coriandery sweet notes. The taste is nicely subdued lacking the harshness that appears from time to time in Ožujsko Pšenično, its closest "relative", orange and coriander jam, lactic, ending chalky and null. Quite drinkable stuff, better than I expected.

Can, Belgrade. Small white head that went away relatively fast, piss pale misty yellow body. Dry, fresh sweet lemon drops nose. Slightly grapefruity relatively natural lemon taste. Relatively light, inoffensive, slightly refreshing from the vaguely sourish finish. Slightly bubbly mouthfeel. Burping lemon juice - yay. I kinda like this! Slightly sugary aftertaste. Lighter than its Croatian counterparts, still nice.

Canned 500ml. -Yellow/pale golden coloured, medium sized white head that went away very slowly, pronounced cardboard nose. Corn and cardboard with notes of some cheap brewmash. Not so good n/a.

0.5 l can courtesy of Marko, thanks for giving it away! Poured pale yellow body with medium sized head. Malty cornflakes aroma, a bit metallic, also in flavor. Honey and cornflakes malt, without unpleasant stale notes. Quite full in body with long cheesy sweetish finish. Good enough for a NA but far from enjoyable. Not offensive and I could drink it whole which is a big plus I guess, but that metallicity ruins it all!

Bottled, from Belgrade. Pale yellow, small head. Fruity vegetable aroma. Sweet and fruity with unclean vegetable flavour. Typical signs of cost cutting in the industrial processes that brought you this beverage. Besides these off flavours there it is almost completely tasteless. Absolutely piss poor.

Bottled, from Belgrade. Almost clear golden, rich firm head. Raisiny wort aroma. Sweet with saccharine and black currant, light bodied. Some slight bready malt, low bitterness. Tolerable, but just...
