It's radler beer with apple juice instead od lemon. Half beer, half something. But tasteful and refreshing something.
Pours light gold body with almost immediately disappearing head.
Smells friut - apple and lime, with no beer components at all.
Tastes extremely refreshing, better than most of lemon-favored radlers. Crispy and sweet-sour in mouth without candy-like sticky feeling that most of radlers leave on palate.
A good radler-beer, aiming to refresh hot summer days - and readily accomplishing that.

Serving type: bottle

Poured from can

Appearance: Poured a clear straw yellow. Much rising carbonation but no head.

Smell: Sour apple, think JollyRanchers, stood out. Makes your mouth water in anticipation of the puckering soon to follow.

Taste: The apple was the front runner and left a distinct apple after taste. The apple juice masks any bitterness of hops and like other Ožujsko beers the bready malt is there, just hidden under the apple.

Mouthfeel: The carbonation of this beer makes it super crisp with a dry finish. There is no puckering as one would assume from aroma of sour apples.

Overall: A good beer but the sour apple would get to me after 2 cans - this one can was enough. Even though this is low alc I wouldn't recommend as a session beer - best with snacks or real food.

Serving type: can
