Can, 500 ml
Appearance: Pours bright golden, clear and shiny, carbonation is initially strong and intensive than quickly and systematically decarbonating, head is almost fizzy, rapidly disappearing almost like one of a fizzy drink, carbonation of the body is still keeped dive after a few minutes. Head was white, no lacing.
Aroma: Very gentle, nothing negative and repulsive, nice mild, grassy hops, some notes of chalk.
Flavour: Surprisingly being my 7th beer in a lager session it’s very good, you can feel nice flowery and gentle hoppy notes very well balanced with full malty, crispy and almost bready, very grainy, barley sweetness. Impression of very complete taste as for even a Premium Lager beer. Very good quality , clear and fresh mountain water, some moderate carbonation playing good refreshing role together with hops balancing full, sweet, honest barley flavour. Finish duration is rather short.
Palate: Body is light to medium, texture is wattery and refreshing, carbonation is soft, finish feel is grainy, bready, a bit chalky, malty, very nice, crispy, pleasant, smooth, full, no water domination.

Bottle. Pale golden-straw colour. Thin white head. Aroma of pale malt with some nice honeyish sweetness. Fresh Saaz floral hoppiness up front, although it’s faded a bit. Good balance. Soft bitterness with a nice floral character. Nice simple beer.

bottle. Golden yellow, medium-sized head. Quite hoppy, malty in the finish. A bit thin perhaps, but still quite nice.

nice, average, mediocre quality lager, refreshing, not bad, doby mediu-bodied, colour light and polish, I wouldn’t like to criticize it because this is the type of beer which doesn’t have plenty of features

Can Golden with a medium white bubbly head. Aroma of grains, bit sweet with some malt. Flavour is fresh, malty, grainy, sweet, some hoppiness. A good drinkable lager.

Bottle in Poland. Main positive attribute is that it’s quite refreshing. Pretty subtle bitterness and a tad syrupy, but it gets by.

Aug 06 Draught in Karpacz, Poland. Some sweetness and moderate grassy hops. Fairly drinkable but not enough I’d want to drink a second.
