Warka

Brewed by Grupa Zywiec
Style: Premium Lager
Zywiec, Poland

500ml bottle with Warka Beer gold label and 7%ABV purchased at Big C Liquors Orlando, FL for $2.50 Not bad.

11.2oz bottle. My first Polish beer. Thanks to Kyle for this one. Poured a clear light orange color with a white head that dissipated quickly. Smelled of honey, light cereal grain, and grass. Light to medium bodied and sweet. Tasted like honey and biscuits. Eh. Not much personality.

Golden lager. Slightly sweet start with touches of hops. Nice citrusy middle tails off to bitter alcoholic finish.

500 ml can. Pale golden and crystal clear. Slightly papery aroma with a hint of grass and citrus. Obviousy, from the aroma, a bit stronger than your average pale lager. Feels rich. Medium-bodied. Not that high carbonation level, but still crisp. Balances nicely, but this is definitely not a particularly interesting beer. Dull. Uses high alpha hops for bitterness.

Can: Poured a golden color with a fluffy huge white head. Aroma is grassy and earth dirt. Taste is rusty metal and grain, a bit watery.

Can on way home from the 24hr shop. Taste is similar, brewing cereral, with grassy herbal hop character,fairly easy going and innofinsive.

(Purchased at Babusha’s Russian Deli, in Walnut Creek, CA) Didn’t make much of a noise when the cap was popped, but it did create a large head. Amber body. Aroma actually reminds me of warmed ketchup (strange I know, but that’s what came to mind). Flavors clearly on the side of malt. Not really much hop character really obvious there. Not a bad beer at all considering its one of the Eastern European pilsners, which are usually very watery and taste all the same. The flavor leads me to believe it would hold its own against a really heavy curry.

Can. Golden with a large foam. Aromas are sweet grain and caramel with Peppery and alcohol notes. Flavours are grain and corn with buttery notes. Quite viscous with alcohol and a kind of fruitiness on the finish. Average.
