Zywiec Niskoalkoholowe

Zywiec, Poland

I used to date a Polish girl and all of her friends would drink this. It must be the only Polish beer being imported because it sucks. It must be the Budweiser of Poland.

Bottle brown, 330 ml
Appearance: Pours white, medium frothy, head, looking quite pillowy and nice, body is bright golden, very clear and transparent, shiny like of very bright Pilsener, carbonation of body is weak, head decreases slowly giving fair lacing traces, body hue is light, yellow to orange. Low carbonation serves here its function as it does not strenghten the weak alcohol content.
Aroma: Some notes of bitter hops, milky and mild, bisquity and a bit crispy - malty aroma similar to ’Zywiec’ (Lager Beer), but no hints of alcohol, some notes of tomato, tomato soup with rice but not disturbing and tolerable. This impression and vegetable accent is similar to many kinds Low Alcohol beer.
Flavour: Front is sweet and wattery, crystalized honey and than bitter hops, when you swallow something unpleasant happens, your tongue becomes immediately dry and parched. When you swallow slight bitter hoppy nose with hints of lemon and orange, but very weak, easy going, some metallic accents.
Palate: Body is light, texture is wattery, but mountain, fresh ans naturally clear, soft water creates a good impression, carbonation is soft, finish feel is chalky, with cery dry and parched palate which is unpleasant and that is why my note is a bit lower than average.

i liked this. It is on the tame side. But it still has a nice taste and appeance. I found it good for a diner beer.

aroma is slighly foul, a bit chemical but some maltiness. Nice mouthfeel considering the abv but a very metallic aftertaste ruins this. Above avarage for a low alcaholic

The aroma is a bit industrial, something with old shoes. But quite stong for a non-alcoholic. A bit faded colour with a robust head. Not bad taste at all, except for some bitterness in the end and in the short finish. I might not recognize this to be a non-alcoholic.

Rather bad. Similar to standard Zywiec - bitter, watery and alcoholic. Yep, that’s right - alcoholic, it must be a real challange to make a low alcohol beer tasting alcoholic, but Zywiec have done that. If you’re in Poland and want a non-alcohol, stick to Lech Free.

VEry non alcoholic as its name says, but it was not annoying as others. I liked for a fake drinking party.

(Bottle 33 cl) Golden beer completely lacking head. Malty aroma. Very light-bodied - naturally - with a light, malty sweetness and a smal discreet bitterness. Free of any of the unpleasant tangs so often found in low alcohols. 021005
