Pour is a golden with a large white head. Aroma is dry pils malt with some nasty metallic smell. Flavor is a little better but not much, Some bready malts and cereal. Very bland and mundane pils from Poland. This may be old since its listed as retired but the best by on the bottle is 2010.

500 ml bottle, a gift from my son Steinar (bought in Poland). Brewed by Herrnbräu in Ingolstadt, Germany. ABV is 5.2%. Extract 12,5%. Pasteurized. Beautiful deep copper to chestnut colour, big to moderate cream-coloured head. Very malty aroma, notes of caramel, rye bread and bakery. Fizzy mouthfeel. The flavour is also malty and sweet with notes of caramel and rye bread, also a slight roastiness. The hops in the finish are very moderate, but sufficient (together with the roastiness) to balance the sweetness and make the beer very drinkable.

Bottled. Cloudy golden. Fruity banana aroma. Mid-sweet with rounded spritzy mouthfeel and medium body. Some pear marmelade. Low bitterness. Drinkable, but not with a lot of character.

Bottle from the Coop in Davis, CA. Against halogen the pour is a clear ruby copper. The head is three-fingers and finely bubbled tan. Aroma is really toffee. Sort of medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is roasted caramel/toffee. Rarely has a beer so suggested toffee to me. Might be some hop hiding in here, but it’s on the minor side. There is some bitter on the tongue sides, and I think it’s building with time. Decent beer.
