Okocim Jasne Pelne (Beer)

Brewed by Carlsberg Polska
Style: Premium Lager
Warszawa, Poland

(draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Pale yellow color with a soapy white head. Very light aroma with some dry hops, sweetness, and a touch of grass and hay. Flavor is very thin and watery with a light hop and sweet flavor until it gets to the end and finishes with a very strange plastic-like taste. Decent until the finish.

Pours average yellow with an abundance of white head. Mild corn malt aroma with a slight metallic. Flavor is more of the same, but a bit sweeter.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy fine to large sized bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a transparent softly carbonated light orange colored body and a fair lacing. The mild aroma was corn malty and astringent. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of corn malt hops mildly sweet and crisp. Not one that I would buy again.

Brilliantly clear medium yellow with a tall creamy, long lasting white head. Soft malt aroma with a touch of spicy hops. The flavor is lightly sweet with not much bittering. Some drying comes in the finish. Light bodied, yet this is creamy enough that it doesnt come off as watery in any way.

golden hue with quickly disappearing white head, the aroma is earthy malt. it’s a very sweet brew for a lager, a bit off balanced.

This beer is typical continental lager fare. It pours a medium to straw yellow with a fizzy quikcly dissipating head. Mouthfeel is unexpectedly soft with very light carbonation and a smooth swallow. There is a bit of grassiness and breadiness in the aroma that leads one to believe it will be more flavorful than it actually is. Flavor is balanced with a slight increase of tartness at the finish. Bittering hops are pretty much non-existent, but some aroma hops keep it from being entirely bland. Skip it and head for a Pisner Urquell or pretty much any Czech lager.

bottle. Pale yellow, medium-sized head. Thin, hoppy and malty, slightly grainy.

Definitely Polish - firm body, gold with good white head, bready maltiness, slightly sweet with a light fruitiness. mouthfeel is silky and satisfying - I actually liked this better than Zywiec or Tyskie. Very drinkable.
