Lezajsk Pelne 12°

Brewed by Grupa Zywiec
Style: Premium Lager
Zywiec, Poland

Bottle labeled Lezajsk 1525. The aroma is a little skunky with mostly sweet malt and a tiny bit of hops. The appearance is pale gold with a medium head that falls quickly. The flavor is unique. It’s not skunky like I was expecting, rather it’s sort of fruity, malty, and perfumy. The palate is thin with an aftertaste of light grassy hops. I think the beer is really neat even if it’s not world class.

500ml bottle. Not what I was expecting based on other experiences with Polish beers. Pours a very bright gold, with a very short fizzy head. Very strong aroma, with a lot going on....floral, citrus, almost peachy. Flavous was very fruity the whole way through, doninated by the peach and citrus contributions first noted in the aroma. No bitter after-taste. Palate was overly watery and a little disappointing. Reminded me more of some typical Belgian beers, like Leffe (but lighter and with less character), rather than other Polish brews. May not be a bad summer beer, but nothing special.

Bottle. Golden with an off-white foam. Aromas are grain with sweet lemon and strong floral notes. Quite like Badger Golden Glory. Flavours are light grain and lemon and apricot with flowery hoppy notes towards the finish. A bit different.

A slight appely sweetness on the nose. Nothing fancy about the appearence, fairly pale and un-clouded. A sutely sweet tinge in the taste. Smooth, low carbonation, very little aftertaste on the palate.

Nice golden color, not too pale. Slight malt nose, med. hops taste, nice carbonation. Overall not bad at all. The bottle I have says Lezajsk 1525, but otherwise looks just like the picture, probably just a translated version of the label.

pale golden yellow, lotsa head, definatly using corn in this brew, very smooth. some hops not alot, summer beer

Bottle: Pours a pale yellow as expected. Good, clean crisp, with light toasty malt in the nose. The flavor has a drier and lightly tinny note, but still a bit biscuity with light hop balance. Finishes light, watery, not bad. I like how clean it is for a polish lager, usually the "more is more" concept they subscribe to doesn’t come across very well.

Very little to brag about here; straw colour with a medium head. The aroma smells like my lawn. The flavour was mediciny.
