Bottle brown, 500 ml, 14 P
Appearance: Pours bright golden body, shiny with some micro sediments floating in the beer texture. Carbonation is soft, head is poor, very small, almost minute and rapidly decreasing to almost non existant.
Aroma: Aroma of dog’s suliva, wet fur, rain water, gutter, toilet water, all of that is an unpleasant, not good quality aroma of hops and malted barley grains. Nothing really interesting, very weak, when it gets warmer piss is starting to play a dominant role. Being very positive now I get it 2 of 10.
Flavour: Front seems wattery, than what comes is aroma of hops in your nose and some bitterness on palate combined with grainy maltyness. Generally sweetness is dominating on palate and beer is gently drinkable. The great difference, as aroma was for sur not inviting and not suggesting a good quality beer but flavour is considerably good and impressive as compared to aroma. Well balanced, finish duration is short to medium.
Palate: Body is light, texture is wattery, carbonation is soft to medium on palate, finish feel is grainy, barley malts, little bit chalky, hoppy nose, quite positive as for an European Strona Lager. Some accidity is also present.

Can. High fluffy but lasting white head. Clear yellow body. Sweet and flowery aroma with notes of honey. Nice burned malt flavor with more hops bitterness than expected. Fair amount of carbonation and a relatively long aftertaste. Better than expected especially when I look at the low ratings it already has.

<Beer bought in a polish supermarket, they have a decent beer selection, but the styles are pretty much all the same> This one had a quite creamy nose, which was nice. The higher abv is well hidden, but the flavor is very dull.

Bottle at home. Thanks to Ole. Golden with a large white head, moderate lacings laft. Aroma moderate malty (caramel), light hoppy. Flavor moderate sweet, light bitter, round. Light/medium body.
