A bottle opened at the Goblet Beer Store, Zagreb. Clear golden, oily texture. Aroma is honey, hint of plastic at first, hint of ripe fruit, but it clears out. Sweet pear, quince. Smooth, drinkable, alcohol hidden. Flavour is sweet candy honey, apple and pear. Sweet finish, not too sticky.

PET bottle, courtesy of Hrabren who got it from the producer. Uncertain ABV. Much paler body than the traditional Gvirc, misty pale golden body traces of a head. Odd aroma, pleasant honeyish undertones, but also a light light sulphury touch and vague tartness. Sweetish, lean, dry, prickly taste. Oh look, a sparkling mead. Pleasant, lovely even honey presence, similar to the one in the lighter one, retaining drinkability, missing the off touches from the aroma.

1 l bottle from Bučijada Fair Market, Ivanić Grad. Shared with Marko. Hazy yellow to golden, small white head. The trouble is this pungent ripe fruit and vegetable aroma that didn't exist when the drink was poured as a taster at the fair. Probably a yeast problem but then again, it says on the label it's a permanent product. Medium body, soft carbonation. Slightly tart. Had a much nicer honey profile when I first had it.

Bottle, many thanks Koelschtrinker! Darkest amber color with no head. Aroma is honey, petrol, beeswax. Taste is petrol, honey, sweet, visous mouthfeel. Amazingly tasty for this ABV!
