Okocim O.K. Beer

Formerly brewed at Carlsberg Polska
Style: Premium Lager
Warszawa, Poland

Light pale malt aroma with touch of noble european hops. Clear golden with huge rocky white head that laced a bit on the glass. Flavor of pale carmelized malts with a bit of a metallic twang and some spicey hops. Fairly light body with a medium finish with touch of lingering bitterness. Definately has that Baltic malty alchohol finish.

Pours golden with a little bit of head. Aroma is sweet and grassy. Taste is surprisingly not skunky, mild, with lots of grass and hay notes. A bit of a dry finish. It’s called "O.K. Beer" and that’s what it is. O.K.

Botte on 07/20/2008. Very clear golden body with a large rocky white head. Sweet toasty and caramel malt aroma with some honey and faint floral hops. More honey flavor, some floral hops and a bit of graininess. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Not a horrible malty flavored foreign ale but not a great one either. It had very little hop identity and a whole lot of corn like aroma.

[500ml bottle]: Crystal straw gold pour with a thin, receding head that soon goes bald. Sweet grainy nose, honey, grassy hops. Flavor is much the same; cereal, honey, mild esters, some earthy hop notes. Body is buttery, light to medium moderate carbonation, not overly fizzy as I would have expected. Tangy finish with a sourish aftertaste. Kind of oily. Not great, not bad. OK is what they call it and OK’s what it is. That being said I got a suitcase of 10 .5 liter bottles for free and probably wouldn’t purchase it in the future.

500ml Bottle: Aroma of herbs, grains, and a little yeast. Poured gold/apple juice in color with a small white head that diminished. Clear. Sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Tastes of honey, grains, and a bit of yeast. Light to medium body. Tingly, then sticky texture. Lively carbonation. Honey, grain, and hint of alcohol finish. Overall, an "O.K. Beer."

This was not the best beer. If you want a Bud Light and want to pay more for the same taste then this is your beer. Very boring beer.

Tastes like a pale lager with a bit more body and a lot more hops. Grassy and smooth. Otherwise there’s not too much there. C-. But good for a cheapo lager. It gets a little ratings boost for being of the style that it is.
