0,5 bottle. A sör gyönyörű,. mély barna, de nem fekete, a habja pedig nagyon szép kávé-színű , hatalmas és tartós. Mellé az üveg és a címke is minőségi. Nagy gyártól egy 9,5-ös baltic porter-lássuk: Remek, stílushű minőségi erőteljes kávé illat, szinte semmi más - ha akrsz kakót és csokit is bele tudsz képzelni... Na ez nem egy "sima barna sör". Az alkoholt nagyon szépen elbújtatták, szinte csak a ragadósságán, sziruposságán érezni, ahogy a szád ragad a kortyok között, amikor épp nem iszol... Eszméletlen jó és testes, komoly pörkölt-maláta kombináció, teljes mértékben minden téren stílushű. Nagyon kávés, icipicit száraz, de nem stout-száraz, annál jóval ihatóbb. Komoly, jól sikerült, szerintem tökéletes sör a kategóriáján belül!

0.5 can. Zakopane. A beautiful beer in a cheerful green can. Huge foam, unfiltered, beautiful mango juice color, fresh, delicious, fruity tropical aroma, a real classic APA. It has extract, they didn't spare the hops either, the 5.4% alcohol is almost ideal. Very fresh, very well hopped. And very delicious. You can mainly taste mango, but you can also feel that it is made on a real beer basis, some - just fine - bitterness remains, but it is mainly fruity. This beer is a very nice achievement from a large producer, I will take some of it home...

Vidám zöld dobozban egy gyönyörű sör. Hatalmas hab, szűretlen, szép mangólé szín, friss, finom, gyümölcsös trópusi illat, igazi klasszik APA. Van benne extrakt, a komlót sem sajnálták, az 5,4 % alkhol is szinte ideális. Nagyon friss, nagyon jól komlózott. És nagyon finom. Ízre főként mangót érzel, de azért érezni, hogy igazi sör alapon készült, valamennyi - pont jó - keserűség is marad, de főként gyümölcsös. Ez a sör egy nagy gyártól igencsak szép teljesítmény, viszek is haza belőle...

19 02 2026 żółte mętne biała piana, utrzymująca się nawet
Zapach raczej cytrusowym niż jabłkowy czy bzu chyba że delikatnie
Smak słodki na średnim poziomie do tego kwaśny i aromat bzu
Lekkie orzeźwiające nagazowanie duże. raczej pełne przez nagazowanie.
Ogólnie piwo to jest dobre jak na styl choć mogło by być mniej słodkie, z wad jest to ze jest raczej cytrusowe niż jabłkowe

33cl can on a Wizz Air flight. Served at room temperature. Pours (in a paper cup) pale gold, with abundant white foam. Aroma is herbaceous and cereal. Body is only slightly thin, with moderate carbonation. Taste is decently bitter, with some malty sweetness behind. Final is average.

500ml bottle from a Polish deli on George Street, Aberdeen. It pours darkest brown to black with a decent khaki head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, malt loaf, dried fruits, fruit cake, milk chocolate, treacle toffee, roasty malts and cola. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy upfront, dark roasted malt, malt loaf, molasses, treacle, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, toasty spice, warming booze, some rawness, burnt toast and cacao nibs with a boozey, roasty finish. Medium+ body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Good boost. Has it's charms for sure.

Bottled, for $1.99 from the Supermarket here in Greenpoint, heart of Polish NYC. Holy crap, a revelation. Very dark brownish-blackish pour with a large brown head. Strong coffee and malty aroma, dark chocolate bitters to finish. Good stuff.
