Bottle - thanks Keren! Pours pale yellow with a small fizzy white head that dissipates quickly with a bit of lacing. Aroma is sweet corn syrup, grain, grass. Flavor is the same, medium sweet and light grassy bitter. Light body. Too sweet for a pale lager.

Średnie piwo, ale jak na egzotykę w miarę ok. Piana tworzy się i ma aspirację do trwalszej jej obecności na piwie. Finisz trochę wytrawny. Chmiel się także nieznacznie wyczuwa

At a tasting, thanks DSG, a little hazy gold colour, sawn wood and cardboard with a hint of spice, coarse bitterness but otherwise quite diluted with a light sweetness and a touch of nuttiness. Just bad.

33 cL bottle at the Animal Kingdom. Pours gold with a thin, off-white head. Smells of wet grass, corn, and caramel. The flavor is sweet and mildly bitter. The mouthfeel is light to medium, smooth, and clean. Overall, this is a surprisingly flavorful lager, and relatively easy to drink. Not that bad.

Bottle. Pours a clear pale yellowish gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is mainly sweet grain and corn without much of a hop profile. Flavor is light up front with sweet grain that is joined by corn that has a mellow finish.

July 2011: Brown 33cl bottle (5.5% ABV) poured into a Duvel glass. Obtained from ’Beers of Europe’, bless them. Good rich golden yellow colour, usual lager bright and clear appearance, next to no head though. Slight aroma of grains, otherwise nothing on the smell front: gets my regular score of 3 for a non-smelling lager/pilsner. The taste was harmless enough, bland and lager-like, but without any real hop or malt flavours to find. To be fair, it could have been a number of different/same lagers you find anywhere in the world and in a blind tasting would have come out in most peoples top half of the scores. So a typical pils/lager with nothing wrong with it and nothing really going for it either.
