0.5 l bottle, 5.2% ABV, shared with my father. Amber color, quickly disappearing white head. The aroma is not so intense, some hops and malts. The taste however is way better, malty sweetness followed by bitter hops. Medium bitter finish. Soft carbonation, medium body. Nice drinking beer.

Аромат нормальный, как у битера классического, немного трав, намек на мед и карамель. Цвет коричневый, пенка средняя, ничего необычного. Вкус питкий, есть травы от континентального хмеля, но немного. При глотке солод, немного карамельки и зерна. В целом хороший вариант для бара.

Karmelowe,palonosc, lekko przebąkują owoce tropikalne, czerwone. Barwa miedziana, przeźroczyste, piękna i trwała piana, piękny lacing. Goryczka niska, palona. Piwo dość płaskie, pełne, mało się dzieje. Ale da się wypić.
