Hevelius Kaper

Brewed by Grupa Zywiec
Style: European Strong Lager
Zywiec, Poland

Orange colored, vanishing white head. Strongly fruity aroma with even some toffee, mild alcohol and convenient fruitiness. Medium to ful lbodied. Flavor is also nicely crispy with this cardboardy-toffee, lemon and caramelly sweetness. Alcohol is of course rather obviuos, but I think it fits here fine. One of the best ESLs I’ve had.

500ml bottle--bargain priced. Poured a fairly decent looking hazy amber with a mostly lasting frothy head. ’Cracker Jack’ like sweet corn/caramel aroma with what seemed like a bit of overdone toast underneath. Sweet light caramel flavor, with maybe some orange zest coming through at the end. Very smooth bodied, with stealthy alcohol. Headache coming up!

Bottle. Pours golden/amber with a moderate white head. Aroma is slightly sweet malt, alcohol, and a bit of light fruitiness. Flavor is sweet and malty, somewhat bready and with some citrus. Some hops in the finish, and noticeable alcohol, though not bad for an 8.7% lager. Not too much depth, but moderately enjoyable; I’d drink it again.

Bottle. Not much there, so not much to say. light golden color. Pale head. Smells of yeast, alcohol, and caramel. Tastes of sweet alcohol. Not much depth. Unimpressed.

Big Ricky from work gave me a half case of these suckers for it was too much for him...puny human. This baby is big and lets you know all about it. The sweet body matches the aroma and is quite pretty in the glass. Fruity aroma and big malty body. Not for the squeemish, or for golfers.

Eeegh, not so much. Good to try Not to Buy. Fruity Nose and Golden clear but a one trick pony when it comes to flavor

Unremarkable. Not bad, not good. Astringent alcohol flavor. Citrus flavors, some bitterness.

(from notes) Bottle. Yeasty but sweet nose. Very clear light amber with visible carbonation and patchy head. Heavy and alcoholic on the palate. One-dimensional malty alcohol flavor which sits funny. Interesting alcohol profile but simple.
