Tatra Jasne Pelne (Pils)

Brewed by Grupa Zywiec
Style: Premium Lager
Zywiec, Poland

Can - 500ml. Limpid golden body with average carbonation and a quick-fading white frothy head. Bland malty/hoppy aroma with sweet and grassy hints. Taste is rather thin and carries some CO2 and corny notes. Ends with a short bittersweet finish. Typical, boring Central/East European macrolager.

(bottle - 500 ml) Clear gold color with a soapy and fizzy white head. Aroma is sweet and grassy with some hints of corn and grains. Some slight hops. Flavor is the same. Rather sweet and dry at the beginning with a dry and grassy finish. Some hop bitterness but mostly sweet malts at the end.

Malty aroma. Amber with a large head. Flavour is malty with a distinct alcohol kick. Thin, slighly watery body. Finishes bitter. About average.

Bottle. Pours a golden yellow with a thick white head. Malty corn aroma with a touch of herbalness. Smooth crisp malt taste, very clean. Decent.

Bottle. Some grain, light sweet and malty. The head is small, white and fizzy with a short duration. The body is orange. The taste is bitter, later on it gets also metallic and ends light sour, The body is light and creamy with a flat carbonation and a metallic finish. Not really a nice beer.

Deep golden pour. Very soft pale malt aroma. A sort of continental type of crackery malt character. The nose also shows a fairly nice herbal/floral nose. Decent balance, but not incredible. It’s a simple, fairly clean lager with more malt character than might be typical, but it’s not half bad at all.

50 cl can, Mulmur, ON, Canada. Medium gold colour, tight frothy head. Mostly skunk aroma, flavor is off, sour like orange rind (in a bad way). Strange beer.

500ml can (Warsaw)
Clear orange, very brief head. Strange deep-heat menthol aroma. Watery in the mouth. Weird taste - some dishwater, and some of the deep heat menthol. Some of those two, and mushroom too, in the finish perhaps? Pretty messed up.
