Warka Strong

Brewed by Grupa Zywiec
Style: European Strong Lager
Zywiec, Poland

Copper colour. Aroma of plastic and high alcohols. Thinnish body with unpleasan random phenols and some gakky caramel fake stuff.

Bottle and served in a no-nik pint glass: Clean deep golden hue with a fading fizzy head and minimal lace. The aroma has notes of honey, wet and caramel grains, phenolic vapours, moderate noble hops and hop spice, and a hint of apricot esters. The taste is bit too sweet and grainy as is often the case with this genre but there is just enough hop bitterness to keep it from becoming cloy. Sugary aftertaste and a hint of alcohol as well. The mouth feel is lightly sticky and lush. Standard fare for this type of brew, nothing special to seek out. Bought as a single, thank goodness.

09-08-18 500 ml can. golden colour. white head. bit of a caramal taste. nice taste.

it smells like honey and malt, its light amber with a small head. its taste is a little citrus with cereal and is a harsh but pleasant feel.

Label doesn’t say strong (only the cap), but the ETOH is 7%. Clear amber, with a massive head that laces well. Malty aroma, perhaps some corn as well. Malty and a bit raw. Medium body. Typical of a continental beer in a grain region.

Light amber color with a small white head. Sweet malty smell with some notes of sugar. Extremely malty taste. Almost overpowering. I’m enjoying it but if I had more than one of these in one sitting I’d probably like it less. Might drink again but I won’t seek it out.

Pours a bright amber orange body with no head. Aroma is malts and caramel. Taste is sweet malts and sugar.

500ml can. A rather malty aroma. Amber colour with short lasting white head. Flavour is caramelly and very sweet, which is to my liking. The slight alcohol tang is almost drowned in the sweet maltiness. Drinks very easily and is not too carbonated. Very malty palate with slight hoppiness at the end.
