heavy (503), Split, Croatia Aug 16, 2008 11/08 0.5 l bottle from a gas station near Warszawa. Opened with a big pop :) Boring lighter golden bodied with tiny head that disappeared soon. Slightly lemony aroma, weak. Thin bodied as well, what I felt of flavor was some slight malt sweetness with some lemony hops. Alcohol is very slightly felt just in the finish, being well hidden for such simple and light brew. Good choice for Polish people wanting to get drunk easily, as it goes down really easy. Otherwise pretty boring as it misses body and some finer flavor. Doggythedog (1020), Split, Croatia Aug 12, 2008 0.5l bottle courtesy of and shared with heavy who brought it from Poland (thanks!) As appearances go, this one’s scraping the bottom of the barrel. A yellow body with scarcely a milimeter of head that went away almost immediately. I’m surprised by the high appearance points. Still, that’s what I saw. Weak nose, oily, some lemon. Missing alcohol and aggressive crappy malt, which is a great thing really for the strength. The taste isnt exactly strong either. Dust and lemon again. Yup, this certainly puts the hop in front. Malt and alcohol come in with question marks among the notes so I guess it’s lacking in that department too. Slightly sweetish and dangerously drinkable. This would definitely be one of my choices if I was looking for a quick alcohol boost in Poland. It deserves more than it gave it because it’s far better than the sum of its parts. Radek Kliber (3342), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 20, 2008 Can 500 ml

Can, 500 ml, 13.9 P
Appearance: Head initially is rather small, rocky, white (nice colour), lacing is fair to average, head longevity is average, generally mostly diminishing but there is a steady small froth on the to of the body, body is very clear, sparkling with medium intense, body is medium, yellow or yellowish with traces of piss colour.
Aroma: Orange, chalk, white wine grapes, grainy but a hint only, rather no alcohol in aroma, a hint of maltyness creating a strong base for the beer, apples, a bit dusty, not very complex thought quite intensive, grapefruit and lemon are also present, a small hint of hops but not doing much here.
Flavour: Front is sweet than comes malted barley and nice grainy taste, alcohol warmth also work on palate and in the nose trills later, beer is almost creamy, sweetness, drinkable- well build in alcohol strengh of 7%, apple, white grapes, bitterness on palate from hops is present though is mixedwith alcohol in your nose which seems to dominate over hops at about hlaf of the beer, juicy. Finish is long, grainy, alcoholic and a bit sweet.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is smooth, creamy, carbonation is lively, finish feel is grainy, moderate to heavy alcoholic.
KungFoo (6), Finland does not count Apr 4, 2008 Golden, rich head. Strong lager having with lots of aftertaste. Not exactly my favorite.
