Style: European Strong Lager
Warszawa, Poland

on tap, head OK, white/ no aroma/ colour watery golden/ flavour; hops but not so bitter, some fruit i can not desipher, strange aroma, sour aftertaste, AVERAGE LAGER, palate averaga but carbonation strong as in a fizzy drink,

Bottle... Clear yellow lager with a mid-sized, frothy, white head. Good retention. Notes of grain, corn, honey and white pepper in the aroma along with earthy, herbal hops. The alcoholic, grainy flavor is decently balanced. Sweet with corn and honey, but followed by earthy, peppery hops. Medium-bodied with fizzy carbonation. Crisp, corny finish. Thanks to growler for the sample!

Almost golden body with a fairly well lasting white head. Sweet malty aroma with some corn as well as some dates? Soft malt taste with a light hop bitterness on the finish, this is drinkable but I don’t exactly like it.

From the bottle into an Okocim pint. Bright yellow-gold, lots of carbonation in there but it was reluctant to form anything beyond a very loose, bubbly pad that didn’t leave any evidence behind on the glass. Very soft, very feint aroma of honey and pineapple, maybe some sourish lemony notes. Pineapple and cantaloupe dominate the sweetish palate. Quite fresh and juicy, with just a soft touch of pine. Body is light, the carbonation easy on the tongue.Very light dusty malt and well blended grassy bite in back before a sourish, piney swallow that shows just a little more fruit. Held well for the length and left me quite surprised overall. I quite liked it. Not too sweet, reasonable balance and as clean as they come. Not bad!!!

Bottle. Poured copper color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with fair lacing. Moderate sweet malty aroma. Medium body with lively carbonation. Medium sweet balanced flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.

Light amber color,small white head that faded quickly leaving nothing behind.The aroma was light malt and grainy with a slight hint of hops in the background.Graint light caramel flavor with a fairly sweet side and a bit of an acidic thing going on as well.The hops are there but faint with just a hint in the end.Over all,nothing special but it does go down smoothly which might make it a good lawnmower brew.

Canned(500ml). –Deep golden coloured, small white head, malty and slight grainy nose. Aroma of malt, corn and rice with few soft alcohol hints and faint bitterness. Very poor for a 6%ABV, but we’re still talking about the polish beer.

Aug 06 Bottle (BB Jan 07) Light bodied brew wiith dank hops and boiled malty flavours. Quite sweet but fortunately alcohol ot apparent. Nothing great but like several of the Polish lagers its suprisingly palatable.
