Can, 0.5l. Murky, juicy looking orange pour, half finger soapy white head, short lasting. Solid lacing on the glass. Fruity on the nose, tropical fruits, citruses and pineapple, peach. Subtle grassiness in the background. Medium body, soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, soft and chewy, easily drinkable. Juicy sweet taste with mild herbal bitter notes in the background. Aroma of pineapple, peach, citrus zest. Oats, hints of vanilla and coconut. Some herbal and grassy notes, mild spiciness. Short to medium lasting finish, dry. Quite decent and enjoyable.

Tap at X. Murky golden body, thick off white head. Excellent aroma, lime-coconut, lightly peachy. A bit thick, flat taste, oaty, peachy, solid lime notes, mild coconut, ending a bit dry. Sadly falls flat body-wise, otherwise nice!

Bottle from Pomalo. Fairly clean pale golden body, not much head. Soft aroma, müsli, very light green apple, soft fruitiness. Lean taste, vaguely fruity, soft, okay carbonation, some flowery touches. Yeah, I've definitely had similarly tasting beers in Germany, not necessarily pilsners. It's an okay lager, not thrilling.

Bottle, 0.5l. Hazy deep copper pour with red hue. No head, no lacing. Fruity and herbal nose, tropical fruits and citruses, hints of pine. Medium body, soft carbonation. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel and texture, chewy, goes down really nice. Moderately sweet malty taste balanced with mild bitter notes. Aroma of caramel malt, jam. Floral notes, ripe fruits. Tropical notes, citruses. Pine. Mild lingering herbal spiciness. Oats, hints of vanilla in the aftertaste. Short lasting finish. Not bad.

Can from Pomalo. Murky orange body, thick, fairly lasting white head. Not entirely NE in appearance, but not enough to care. Enormous aroma, mixing coconut and stone fruit notes, along with some tropical notes and maybe vanilla, hitting with heavy tangerines later on, just slightly odd leathery touches. Soft taste, light creamy coconut taste... sadly, the huge aromatics from the aroma are largely subdued and lost, coconut, oats, maybe light vanilla, light tangerine touches, hmm. This is definitely a very good beer, really glad they've made it! Doesn't fully stand out style-wise, but I'd definitely get more. Big props!

Bottle from Pomalo. Red with a pinkish head. Soft sweetish, slightly fruity, slightly yeasty aroma. Soft taste, strange fruity touch, rosehip? no bitterness or close to it, slightly flowery, not soapy, just a remarkably soft, thick mouthfeel. Strange, different.

Bottle, 0.5l. Cloudy deep copper pour, two finger frothy off-white head, long lasting. Good retention, lots of lacing on the glass. Quite mild on the nose, hardly picking up anything at all, some vague herbal and grainy notes, fruity hints in the background. Seems quite watery judging by nose alone. Light to medium body, medium carbonation, quite fizzy. Average mouthfeel and texture, somewhat watery. Moderately bitter taste. Weak aroma, expected something a bit more, well, juicy. Grains and herbs, grassy, mild fruity notes, slightly earthy, lingering herbal spiciness. Mild sweetness in the background. Low hop character. Short lasting finish, herbal, dry, lingering bitterness. Nothing to write home about. Mediocre.

Bottle, 0.5l. Black pour, two finger frothy beige head, long lasting. Pretty good retention, nice lacing on the glass. Interesting nose, roasty, charred, coal, somewhat harsh. Something feels off, can't quite put my finger on it. Light body, soft to medium carbonation. Average mouthfeel and texture, lightweight and quite on the watery side. Easily drinkable. Roasty bitter taste. Aroma kinda follows the nose, roasted malt, coffee, coal, toasted caramel. Oats, some grainy notes. Quite dry. Somewhat flat and empty. Short lasting finish, dry and roasty, lingering bitterness. Not that great, worth a try but definitely not something I'd go back to.

0.33 l can from Pomalo Beer Shop, Zagreb. Shared with little Dina. Hazy golden, small off-white head. The aroma is moderately to heavily hoppy, rich fruity profile, tropical, pineapple, mango, coconut; stone fruit, apricot; citrus, tangerine (exactly as it says in the description), a touch of vanilla, a touch of malts and bread, great balance. Medium body, quite smooth, quite sweet. Fruity flavours dominated by ripe tropical, stone and citrus fruit, mostly mango, peach, tangerine, lemon, zest or citrus oils and a smooth malty bready counterbalance. Coconut doesn't dominate but gives it a nice roundup, nearly going into the pina colada region. Almost no bitterness and a tart touch in the finish, slightly sharp. Moderate carbonation, light finish. Surprisingly nice.
