Okocim Karmi Classic

Brewed by Carlsberg Polska
Style: Low Alcohol
Warszawa, Poland

I think honestly you’ve got to set your expectations accordingly with this one. It’s a low alcohol to start, so it needs to be rated as such. As a low alcohol, i thought it tasted alot like a karamaltz from german (non alcoholic caramel cola type drink). the one big complaint is the bitterness of what i can only imagine is the artificial sweetner mixed with the sweetness of the caramel. Someone else reviewed that it tasted kind of like ice tea, and i can agree on that much. kind of a lightly carbonated caramel ice tea.

[Tasted with svoger.] My first lowalcohol beer to rate. Like a nisse-beer in DK. Notes of coffee, brown sugar and of course too sweet, but in the OK-end.

Nasty...with strong notes of raisins, coke, and syrup on the front end. It finishes horribly with hints of burnt sugar, rancid coffee and a touch of nutra-sweet. The worst beer I’ve ever tasted.

Bottle. There wasnt anything I could like about this and most of it ended up down the sink. Oversweet artificial sugaryness with unpleasant whiffs of something now and then.

Well, I was disappointed because this was a non-alcoholic beer. I poured it and it was a nice ruddy dark brown, fairly large head, and a sweet maple syrup brown sugar oat nose. I thought that this might not be too bad. Then I drank it. This is tastes like melted brown sugar. Way too sweet. Imagine if someone added six tablespoons of Sweet n’ Low to a can of Coke and remove the fizz. Yep. I still drank it all though.

clear dark brown colour with a little foam; very toasty aroma, touch of coffee and wort; terribly sweet (there are tons of glucose here), short and quite flat finish with some notes of caramel - dubious

This is absolutely, the worst thing I have ever tasted. I perfer the taste of my own urine. Seriously. Let’s say theoretically you drink half a Pepsi and let it sit for a couple days. Take that and mix it with iced tea. That is Okocim Karmi. Do yourself a favor and die before you drink this. I give it as a present to people I hate.

Bottle. Frothy good head. Mostly lasting. Dark brown colour. A nice beer to look at. Toffee aroma, a bit sweet but not too much. Average finish.
