2004 or 2005 bottle provided by Tiggmtl and shared with him and Muzzlehatch, 6/3/2005. Clear, faded gold leaf body (aspargus urine as tiggmtl says). One-finger of white head recedes to cover. Aroma has grassy hops initially, but dies off quickly and I never find it again. It is soon replaced with corn flowers. Flavor is rusty, powdered sugar, bitter metal. Nasty corn-syrup sweetness. Metal lingers, almost sour on the end. Low to moderate carbonation. Very dry and stale beer, with a heavily filtered, bubbly, mouthfeel.

Tried a bottle at the Polish Festival in Baltimore over the weekend. They poured the bottle into a plastic cup. Mild (good) Euro-lager smell; tasted very fresh (imported for the festival?). Color is golden to light brown; taste was more "lager" than "pilsner," with a good mix of malt & hops in the flavor. Refreshing mouthful, a bit more body than most; with nice carbonation. As it warmed in the cup (hot day), it still tasted great. I’d like to be able to find it again!!

Apple juice in colour and a small white fizzy head. Taste is slightly apple, like the NFULL from Poland. Overall grainy/corn taste. Nothing here but figured i’d give it a shot. I prefer this new Okocim i snagged, but well.......5 more bottles to go. damn 6 pack. Perhaps I can punt this off to some mates.

INOS #3. I’m started to feel a little like Bill Bixby now....fizzy pale white head. Slightly skunky aroma. Horrible bottle taste. Corn city! Awful, worst by far, so far.

Barely anthing left on the nose, a nice apperance, lacing holdsup decent. Clarity is a good word to describe the appearance. A mild sweetness, but not too bad.

Beer #3 in the line-up at The International Night Of Swill. Pale yellow colour with fluffy white head that quickly disappears but leaves some decent lacing. Light grassy aroma. Body is very watery. Flavour is... odd. It has the well-balanced bland flavouring of most Eurolagers, but there’s something soapy and unpleasant in the background.

500ml brown bottle. A pale yellow beer with a decent soapy, fluffy head. Light floral hop aroma and sweetish malts. Very lightly carbonated, light mouthfeel. Light traces of grain and malt sweetness. Clean and somewhat refreshing.

2nd of the 10 LCBO east block euro Pilsners. This one is spectacularly clear..light gold-yellow nice rocky white cap that lasts for a while then has moderate lacing. Delicate, mild nose light wisps of sweet malt over herbal hops. "Mild" is all I can find to discribe this beer. It has all the elements of a good Bohemian pils but it is very mild ...not necessarily watery ...just mild. Nice light malts, light hops...pleasant to drink but nothing stands out. This is what Labatt’s "blue" would taste like if it was an all malt commercial pilsner
