Aug 15, 2005 The draught version is very refreshing after a hot day’s work in the Warsaw. The canned version is deceptively strong @5.6% - better than UK Stella but not as good as Budvar.

Aug 11, 2005 In my last trek to Poland, I saw Zywiec everywhere. So, I made it my beer of choice. I would not say that it was exceptional, but it wasn’t repulsive either. This is a beer that you drink out in restaurants and bars. It is not necessarily a beer that you drink with food, or to simply enjoy the taste of a fine beer. Though, I would still give it a thumb’s up! Enjoy Zywiec... Polskie Piwo!!

Aug 9, 2005 Pours gold with a slight amber tint—darker than I expected. Very small head and medium effervescence. Nutty and papery aroma. Not too promising. Basic pale lager taste with a little extra malt backbone and, if you can believe it, a very slight hint of honey. Semi-dry finish. Not good, but not the worst you can get. Probably a good Crappy European Lager to buy because the amber bottle prevents skunking.

Aug 8, 2005 From the bottle. A slight funky aroma coming from this beer, maybe it was the bottle, i dunno. I do know that the flavor was a lot better. Subtle, sweet malt flavor with a slight citrus, acidic like tange. Rather refreshing for a hot summer day.

Aug 7, 2005 Had this one in Windsor, first Polish beer that I think I have had, nothing outstanding but overall appealling, should have bought another to get a true sense for it

Aug 7, 2005 My first Polish beer. I’ve had a few prior to this one so I’ll give a proper review later on... But as it stands, I like it! (500ml bottle)

Aug 2, 2005 Updated: Jul 22, 2006Pale, slightly bitter lager. Head goes off fast, almost completely. A decent taste in the beginning, but at the end you feel a slight yet unpleasant alcohol note. Heavy carbonation. The most popular and widespread Polish beer, sort of a mainstream standard. Not bad, used to be much better though - it’s either that my taste has developed throught the years or this beer is constantly deteriorating.

Jul 31, 2005 Updated: Aug 15, 2005canned; quite unusual, it´s sugary but not sweet, some nice bitterness, a bit special taste to it, nothing wrong with this brew, but fails to be anything else then a decent lager, re-rate in 4 weeks when I´ll get this on draft in Zywiec RE_RATE : bottled; unbeilevable difference from the can, clean and crispy, excellent lager
