Many thanks for this beer for new Country to Manslow. Piwo zupelnie nie ma piany tak jak stary dobry lambick. Oczywiscie jakosciowo i smakowo do lambicka nie ma porownania. Zapach wilgotnej slomy. Jasne, niemal zlote. Po nalaniu do szkla zachowuje sie jak nalana woda mineralna do szklanki. Smakowo to jak rozcienczony syrop z puszki z kukurydza konserwowa w proporcji 1:100. Nawet w upaly w Afryce moze zdenerwowac to piwo. Tak wiec smakowo i doznaniowo nie polecam, ale dla nowego kraju to tak. Dziekuje Marian za pamiec.

Yellow colored, clear, weak white head. Aroma of some malt, very light grain, metal and cardboard. Taste is bit of sweet malt, some grains, some adjuncts, no bitterness, metallic finish, very bland. Light bodied, lively carbonation, watery. Even more watered down Primus. (bottle, at Bralirwa brewery)
