Tap at Drinkoteka. Much clearer, juicier fruitiness, actually quite pleasant to drink, the fault was indeed at the can's side. 7/4/8/4/15, maybe even more, but will take -0.1 as the issue was consistent in cans. Can, delivered a couple of days ago by Rafa himself, of course! Slightly hazy, slightly dull golden-yellow body, white head. Unusual aroma, I'd guess coming from Callista, mixing floral, herbal touches, tea almost, with ripe, lightly cooked fruitiness. Unusual herbal touch, somewhere between spicy and minty. Dry, vaguely sweetish taste, pleasant, some odd tropical/stone fruit compote, sweet citrus, honey-pollen, malty touches, somehow creating an illusion of sweetness. Unsure of the maltiness on this one overall, unsure of the hoppiness, but it somehow works as a whole. Solid bitterness in the end. Will try another, but not happy with it now, felt a bit tired, in a way many IPLs I ran into were. Maybe mild oxidation. Still, I know the next one will be better! 6/4/7/4/14

Za rohom. Ked som prisiel bolo jedine na pipe a tak som skusil. Pomerne silna bylinkovo chmelova vona. Zlatista cira farba, pena padla. Chut silna horka bylinna. Na konci prijemna horkost ostava.

Can from Beer Station Vivo. Pours gold with white head Fresh hoppy on nose. Medium bitterness, pineous, hoppy, fresh citruses. I was bit worried when I saw where was it brewed, but there was no reason to. Nice, tasty, west coast IPA.
