Harnas Jasne Pelne 12.1°

Brewed by Carlsberg Polska
Style: European Strong Lager
Warszawa, Poland

500ml bottle. Pours a clear golden color. Hoppy aroma that’s slightly skunky. Overall, this is a nice lager.

Hop malt aroma. Crystal clear amber colour with poor head and lacing. Bitter malt hop flavour. Fizzy palate.

Bottle courtesy of HogtownHarry- Thank you! Harnas piwo pours a sparkling, pale yellow liquid, and is capped with a quickly diminishing fizzy white cap. The nose is of weak pale malts and hints at straw and grains, with just a touch of alcohol. Tastes of faded sweet grains and pale malts with straw and subtle fruits. For a mocne, jasne piwo, this isn’t too bad, as the alcohol is hidden quite well. Thanks Harry!

On tap, extract of wort 12,1%
Head is medium (only in on tap version), white, faint aroma, colour of body is watery golden, flavour: hops but not so bitter, some fruit hard to decipher, weird aroma, sour aftertaste, palate average but carbonation strong as in a fizzy drink. Very weak and wattery beer for not demanding consumers.

Bottled. Thx Jakub. Pale golden with a large, white head. Really sour aroma with vegetables. Some sweet and malty flavour with notes of ashes.

500ml bottle. Yellow color, grainy aroma. Flavor is more malty, but some bitterness in finish.

500ml bottle from Oklahoma liquor. Golden yellow with small moat sum of a head. Aroma of corn, perfume and something funky I can’t describe. Sour apple finish that strips the coating right off my tongue and the sides of my mouth…probably my sink too! Alcohol somewhat noticeable. Yuck.
