Pours golden with medium, lasting head. Hoppy aroma, flavour also hoppy with slight grain notes. Pleasant aftertaste, in general enjoyable. Unfortunately, better than most Polish macro lagers.

Lukewarm, unpleasantly bitter metallic suds atop a plastic beaker half-filled with ice. OK, so probably not the ideal conditions for sampling a ’premium lager’. The refreshing, sweet maltiness of this beer is best expressed chilled, and at less than 36,000ft.

This is actually pretty drinkable - Has nice fluffy white head and fizzy gold colour, leaves good lacing. Aroma a little metallic, malt, flowery hops. Goes down smooth, a little sweet, a little bitterness in the finish. As continental mass-market lagers go this one is pretty good really.

Had on a plane on a flight to Europe. Fruity esters, slightly grassy hops, some hay and some sweetness. Pours with a creamy, white head that reverts to a film atop the yellow hued body. Suprisingly nice lacing. Taste is american macro style: not much aftertaste. A little fruit but mainly water. Some hay malts. Fizzy carbonation, but creamy. I have always liked 1664, brings back good memories.

From the 12 fl.oz green bottle. Pours golden-yellow with a good amount of fizzy white head. Aroma of malts and sweet hops. Medium mouth feel. Corn and wheat in the taste. The matls in the flavor are subtle. The overall experience is something very crisp and clean. It looks like I liked it better than other raters here.

Dåse. Ikke en dårlig makro. Sødlig fra majsen med et meget diskret whiff af humle. kunne være dårligere, men bestemt også bedre.

Orange with little ivory white head. Smellis malty sweet with slome doughiness. Flavor is watery hence quite easy to drink. Not a bad lager at all. I expected much worse - it almost had a wheatiness in the flavor. Palate is decent - overall very drinkable.

From the tap in a shaker glass. First impression was that I was somehow drinking a Riesling -- companions disagreed, with my wife saying "it’s not Riesling, honey, it’s just boring beer." As usual, she’s right. The best part about it was that someone else paid for it. VERY average in every respect.
