Shared by Marko. Fruit is the center. I like that it feels natural, but the rasp clashes with the grenate imo. Med-high sour, med-light tart, mix lacto-fruity. Not very beery, but that is ok here. The more I drink it, the more I like it, but it still feels somehow off.

Can from Damian. Medium amber color with thick off-white head. Aroma of caramel, light zest, candy, light tropical fruits. Taste is very sweet with caramel, burning alcohol, fruity esters, not too much hops. Light citrus and troicla fruits. Disappointment.

440ml can. Quasi black colour with average, dense, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, dark beige to tan head. Fruity, slightly smoky, minimally spicy and minimally veggie aroma, roasty, dark malty background, hints of plum, smoked plum, some dark caramel, a very weak touch of chipotle, toasty, oaty overtones. Taste is mildly roasty, dark malty, slightly smoky and fruity, hints of plum, smoked plum, a touch of bacon wrapped smoked plum, some dark caramel, mildly bitter, hoppy counterpart.
Slightly creamy-oily, watery texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Well controlled sweetness, well adjusted smokiness, good balance in general - enjoyable.

Sharp spiky hops dominated and there was nothing else. I've had many beers that are better.

Black pour with a tan head which dissapears quickly. Aromas of roasted malt, cream , then peanuts and some cocoa. Taste is malt, oil, roasted cocoa, milk/cream, a hint of peanut. Given that they added flavourings, it is not mindblowing.

Can, 0.33l. Cloudy orange pour, one finger soapy white head, short lasting, no lacing on the glass. Refreshing on the nose, fruity sour notes of citrus and mango, candy, citric acid.
Light body, medium carbonation. Average mouthfeel and texture, lightweight, slightly fizzy, watery, easily drinkable. Balanced taste, sour and tart with mild sweetness in the background. Somewhat empty and bland aroma, mango, citrus, citric acid. Yeasty notes, mild sugary candy, tart notes in the background. Herbal and grassy notes. Medium lasting finish, dry, tart, sour.
Not bad but quite bland and generic. Brewed for supermarket chains so no surprises there. Ok.
