Brewed by Grupa Zywiec
Style: Premium Lager
Zywiec, Poland

Pours a reddish-yellow with a small white head. Aroma is of apples, spice, and grass. Tastes of apples, a touch of hops (very gentile hops), citrus, spice, alcohol shows through a bit, grass. Better than any macro brewed Canadian lager that I’ve tasted. As my co-worker put it, "It tastes happy". good lager... but still a lager.

<b>Can, 500 ml, 12 P</b>
<b>Appearance: </b>Pours beautifull golden, shiny and perfectly clear body with moderate saturation of the body and foamy head, initially medium in size and quite quickly decreasing to only a small froth floating on the body surface.
<b>Aroma: </b>Very, very weak, aroma of water, gentle notes of thin watered down maltyness, almost non existant hops, practically no hops here. Blame Grupa Zywiec for such a simplification and implosing the macro style on this legendary mark.
<b>Flavour: </b>Typicall flavour of Polish macro Premium lager, but no hops at all, only thin, watered down maltyness. Gentle milky aftertaste, which is quite pleasant, all in all it has a sweet profile and from a thin wattery front it developes into a really nice raw, milky sweet barley malt that is really noble and not commonly found in Polish Premium Lagers. Apart from it drastically lacking in hoppyness, all in all apart from nice raw barley malt it tastes like a macro sud.
<b>Palate: </b>Body is light, texture is wattery, carbonation on palate is moderate, finish feel is flat and boring, neutrall.

50 cL can, courtesy of MiP. Pours clear and golden yellow with a diminished white head. Aroma is mild grassy and promises a bitter brew. Mild sweetness and grassy flavoured. Light caramel malty note. Ends bitter and medium dry with a light grassy note.

can. Clear pale golden yellow colour, medium-sized head. Malty nose. Full-bodied, pleasantly malty with some fruity hints, hoppy bitter-finish with a touch of malt. Quite all right.

Can, 5.5%. Weak citric aroma, not unpleasant. Clear yellow colour. Small white head. Mild flavour, some malt, hint of grain in the finish. A subtle macro lager.

A pretty drinkable premium lager. Aroma of corn, malts, and old hops. Taste is grainy and slightly bitter. Overall, this beer is very stisfying for a premium lager and I will have this beer again

I tried this beer on August 12, 2008 after purchasing from one of the local LCBO outlets. The beer poured a translucent dark gold colour with very little head. The aroma was metallic, malty, with some hoppy presence. The mouthfeel was light to medium bodied, and highly carbonated. The flavour is grainy malt, with some bitter hints.

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a white head. Light malty aroma with hay and a bit of dishwater. Flavor is pretty nondescript with a bit of straw and maybe some herbal notes.
