I drank this beer, during my stay at Cracovia, a long time ago. It is a typical lager/pils of the region, not great but drinkable, dopolavoro birra.

Kolor jasno brązowy, może ciemno bursztynowy. Piana raczej biała, wysoka, trwała, zbudowana z drobnych pęcherzyków, od samego początku ładnie maluje na szkle.
Aromat palonych słodów, karmelowy (raczej spalony karmel), orzechowy, z odrobiną nut korzennych.
Smak"głęboko" słodki skontrowany chmielową, może nawet paloną (słodową) goryczką.
Wysycenie średnie. Ciało średnie. Tekstura bardO miękka, gładka. Posmak krótki, palony, wytrawny.
