Süßlich-herber Antrunk, der malzige Ton ist dünn aber angenehm. Etwas schärfer wird es dann im Mittelteil, in dem auch eine säuerliche Note nicht zu verkennen ist. Die dort aufkommende Fruchtigkeit ist im Nachgeschmack schon wieder Vergangenheit, das Bier wirkt hier recht steif und holzig. Durchschnitsbier mit überraschend wenig Alkohol. Test vom 30.1.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 6,8,8,8,7,8 - 7,75

Canned(500ml). –from Geant Briancon as Van Pur 8.3%. Pours a pale golden coloured with small white head and malty alcoholic nose. No carbonation at all. The aroma is sweet malty and slight hoppy with faint apple notes. Nothing special but quite drinkable for a polish beer with high alcohol content.

0.5l can, 4.7% at some store in Split Poured a yellow/golden colour and a medium sized white head that went away relatively fast. Lovely, but faint pure honey aroma (as in honey, not the honey beer aroma). The taste is... missing. Whooo. Some nice malty sweetness and fruitiness and nothing else. Watery. Maaaybe some hops show up (aftertaste mainly), but still... Good for swilling I guess as it’s not offensive, smooth, and keeps a low profile, but a good beer, no. Still, it’s quite good for a cheap beer whose main marketing point is, according to the big letters on the frot of the can, that it’s pasteurized. As it warmed it actually got better... The flavours in it are quite nice and complement each other rather well, but they really shoud’ve been more pronounced.

Canned. Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is sweet malts, alomst sugary sweet and also some hops. Flavour is malts and hops. A rather sweet lager. Some apple also, once it gets warmer.

Canned(500ml). –pale golden coloured, medium quick-disappearing white head. Slight malty and bready flavor. Not much of aroma, but also doesn’t have strong alcoholic taste for 7.8%ABV.

Bottle picked up the ’Dodgy Deli’ on the Cowley Rd, Wed 23rd August, drank in a field at Towersey Festival, Sat 26th August. Golden colour, heavily carbonated, I know before I have something of a soft spot for some of the Eastern European Pale Lagers and note that they have a familiar taste, well this one was’nt up too much. One thing in it’s favour was that I’m glad I had it in a bottle rather than a can as at 4% the bottled vesrion had probably got a little more body and flavour than it’s canned counterpart. Not great

500ml Bottle, Picked up from the ’Dodgy Deli’ on the Cowley Rd, Oxford. Pale golden in colour with a lrge white frothy head, this again was similar in respect to many other baltic pale lagers that I have had. Quite malty, sweetness show’s though not much bitterness, absolutely fine.

Clear golden color with white head. Sweet malty aroma with a bit of hops. Flavor is sweet caramel and sweet dates and plums. Also a light hoppiness. Some lighter malt notes are noticed too. Ends up a bit on the sweet side for me but right for the style.

Can, alc. 5.1%. Golden color, quickly vanishing white head. Typical cheap Central European pils aroma, cardboard malty. Sweet malty, apple peels flavored. Harsh finish, mostly sugary aftertaste. Quite typical Central European supermarket beer.
