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, 0.5l. Pale golden pour, two finger soapy white head, medium retention, minimal lacing on the glass. Sweet and malty nose, floral notes, light grass. Light body, soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, watery, lightweight, easily drinkable. Goes down nicely. Balanced bittersweet taste, more on the sweet side, very mild bitterness in the background. Aroma of malt, grains, grass. Light spice, bread, grass, tea leaves. Light hop notes. Slightly sticky. Short lasting finish. Simple and quite basic lager but nothing really wrong with it. Solid thirst quencher.

Bottled 330ml. -from local Plodine, shared with Marko & Hrabren. Golden coloured, small to medium sized white head, cardboard in the nose. Same in the taste; cardboard, light caramel, bit grainy and watery sweetish finish. Crap.

0.33l green bottle courtesy of Ogi, shared with Hrabren and me. Dull golden body, not much white head. Skunk permeates the room as soon as it's opened, and it's not much better once it settles, vague banana, grainy, odd unnatural grainy notes, rice, oxidation. Empty, dry, light taste, honey, raisins, oxidation, vaguely tart, not a trace of hops (maybe vaguely floral if I stretch my imagination a bit), as I guess these folks think they contain gluten or something. Lightly minerally. This is simply put not enjoyable.

500ml can. I wonder if this is the same beer as Pécsi Szalon Világos Sör? Pours clear gold with a medium-sized white head. Aroma is malt, grain. Taste is medium sweet, malt, cardboard. Light bitter finish. Light bodied.
