About
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.

4.5/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 4 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
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.

Bottled(500ml). -From small shop in village named Torokbalint near Budapest.
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.

Hmm...what to say about Pecsi contract beers for a bunch of Hungarian supermarkets? This one poured pale yellow piss coloured with small soapy white head and corny cereals nose. Again watery palate, but this time there’s some weak corn flakes and light salty bready notes.

0.5l bottle, dirt cheap (around 80-90 forints), from a Match store in Budapest Poured a yellow body with, well, pretty much no (white) head. The nose is MIA. And I’m not talking about the Sri Lankan singer. Notes say "maybe grain". So there you have it. I might’ve smelled something grainy. Taste? H2O. Aaaand... something else! Some graininess that ends up somewhere between rice crispies and corn flakes but still makes this beer end up above the utter crap category. Some weak saltiness near the end. Not exactly offensive but all in all, useless (though not as much as some). The unicorn on the label in conjunction with the name (the gate of the mill) makes me believe that this beer is actually art. Those rascals at Pécsi probably wanted to teach the average István what’s abstract art. I’m sure they did. Ooooooooor. This is yet another lame faux-German yellow water from Hungary. I’m sure it’s the former.
