Description
Pécsi Brewery is an independent brewery with a history of 170 years of uninterrupted operation. The factory meets the highest quality standards (IFS), uses its own karst water source, and has a stable access to regional supply of ingredients. The owners have decided in 2017 to limit the annual beer production to a maximum of 200.000 hectoliter per year. Its home, the lively city of Pécs is located on the southern slopes of the Mecsek mountains in a mild climatic almost mediterranean corner of Hungary.

While our Pécsi and Szalon lagers are among Hungary’s most popular beers, the company has successfully started to market top fermented beers such as Weissbier, Pale Ale and APA. Our brewing is pursued according to the German Beer Purity Law in order to create the purest beer possible. The commitment to environmental sustainability and the preservation of biodiversity motivated our team to launch our successful organic product series in 2019.

Can (thanks to Quack-Duck !): Pale golden, quite firm and stable white head; lemony-hoppy notes in the nose, light bodied; short lemony-hoppy finish. A refreshing fizz for the hot Puszta summers..........

07/06 0.5l can courtesy of ogivlado, thank you a lot, shared with Doggythedog. It poured very pale yellow body with medium head that went down pretty soon. Let’s say regular cheap pale lager aroma, corny. But flavor is ouch...quite industrial, bit of vegetables, sweetish, watery for sure, crap. I don’t want to bother about speaking of palate... Unique and remarkable, that’s for sure, it’s even worser than other Hungarian worst beers.

0.5l bottle courtesy of ogivlado (thanks!), shared with heavy Poured a pale yellow colour with an unremarkable white head. Very weak eggy grainy nose with some lemon if I stretch my imagination a bit. The taste is salty, some extremely crappy weak, stale honey & grain and some light lemony acidity. Extramely watery. No proper taste, ugly, crap. Good going Pécsi.

Canned(500ml). -One of the better Hungarian beers and certainly the best Hungarian n/a.
Pours a pale golden colour with a medium sized white head and barnyard nose. Tastes like sweet green or black (Indian) tea with some grainy lemony notes. Also touch of lemon in the finish. One again, quite good n/a.

Another Pacsi supermarket crap, this time the winner is CBA. Some odd malty nose with weak malty / grainy taste and short bitterish finish.

0.5l bottle courtesy of and shared with ogivlado (thanks!) Poured a nice golden colour with a medium sized fluffy white head. Nose? Sourish nothingness, some malt. Gee how surprising. The taste? Typical Pécsi supermarket beer, only a little less watery than some. Weak earthy?/grainy? sweetish maltiness, some random low quality background hop, slightly biting... better than some of their stuff but hardly a good pale lager.

0.5l can courtesy of and shared with ogivlado (thanks!) You can hardly call this brewer good. Certainly not ffter you’ve had several of their supermarket beers. So, what can one expect from their alcoholfree beer. Ok, so it’s under their own, proper brand so it’s probably better than they’d make for a supermarket, right? Right. It doesn’t start well though. Sure, the look is good enough, with a golden body with a medium sized head that kinda took its time to go away but the aroma is hardly appealing. Cardboard turning almost into chamomile, a bit herbal tea too... with some vaguely lemony vitamin tablets. And then the taste turns ot to be a nice surprise. Definitely not a typical n/a. Sweet, no major off tastes except for some cardboard, green tea with a couple drops of lemon, honey. Definitely odd and yet somehow appealing (as far as /a’s go. Actually tastes better than all of their supermarket lagers.

Canned(500ml). -allready my eleventh supermarket Hungarian beer from Pecsi (Fifth from Match).
Golden coloured, medium sized white head, weak malty cereals nose. "Interesting" taste of water diluted with something indescribable. Thanks Doggythedog for tip.

0.5l can from some Match store in Budapest, shared with heavy Poured a golden body with a medium sized thick white head that actually took its time before disappearing. Odd. The nose was better than expected, some dusty hopiness and some corn. Actually not offensive. Guess some other beers have lowered my standards. The taste... some breadiness, even hop maybe, but also an odd, bad adjuctey sweetness. Corn at its worst probably. Bites too. Some odd lemoniness too. Oh, and it’s damn light and watery. Crap. Not as crappy as I expected but still crap.

0.5 l can Doggythedog brought from Budapest, thanks! Poured lighter golden body with medium head that stood up some time. OK... Malty sweetish flowers aroma, cheap, industrial, with corn syrup. I thought that is bad until I actually tasted this thing. Nonsense flavor, bit metallic, bland and watery except some sourness that comes pronounced in the aftertaste and leaves strange mouth-pickering finish. However, after few sips it becomes somehow drinkable, unpleasant components are now minimal, just corny water remains, so I managed to finish it. But anyway, shit of a beer.
