Warka Strong

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

Sweet aroma with chemical and caramel notes. Sweet fruity flavor with caramel malt and alcohol notes. Sweet boozy end.

Amber with tiny head, notes of artificail fruit with hints of yeast, toffee and malt, very sweet and artificial.

Pours a clear dark gold with a white head that quickly dissipates. Sweet grainy aroma with a light alcohol note. Smooth syrupy body but not as thick as I expected. Rich honey malt flavors and a bitter, pungent noble hop finish. Very little off flavors so probably doesn’t have much fillers, always a plus.

Bottle: Poured a copper clear color with a off white color head. Aroma is very strong with sweet honey and grains.The taste is similar with lots of grain and honey, my teeth almost hurt from the sweetness.

Bought this at a local Polish Market, the bottle I have does not look at all like what is shown here, I must have the newer bottle, the label on my bottle is printed black on gold with red in the name ‘Warka’, BBD 8-27-08 on label, pours a clear bronze gold color, has a small white head, this looks viscous in the glass, left some bubbly lacing on the glass, aroma of malt grain, malt sweetness, faint grass(?) and faint alcohol in the background, flavor of malt and grain, a bit of malt sweetness, a small bitterness at the finish, the alcohol is hardly noticeable which could makes this a sneaker of a drink, with 7% alc. and this beer being easy to drink I can see this gaining up on you, has more then a medium mouth feel, I enjoyed this more then the Baltika 9, it does not have a alcohol attack when it gets cool or warm, easy to drink, not a real complex brew but simple and good.

500 ml bottle from the LCBO. pours gloden with a fizzy head that is quickly gone. once you get past the dissapearing act performed by the head it actually looks very nice in the glass. aromas are malty with euro grain sweetness. no hops in the aroma. flavours are nice and tight. malt is balanced by hops and this brew is very easy to drink. id gladly have this anytime.

tasty beer. Has a refreshing flavour and doesnt taste overly alcoholic. Im a fan. God bless the poles!

Smells like puke on opening, which is not that unusual. Does smooth out after it’s been poured to a more socially acceptable pong. During that poor there a frenzied frotheness whihc disapears very quickely to reveal a vert slight almost grey head whilst the body is fairly standard amber colour. Sweet flavours with a portion of maltiness, a hint of hops and some corn or some such filler. Overall its quite watery and disapointing for a ’strong’ beer.
