Bottle: Pours a clear yellow color with a nice big white head, gusher actually. Big biscuit and bread notes with with a sharp twang of sweetness accompanied by some dried fruit. Some moderately malt liquorish notes going on with very little in the hop or bitterness department. A little sweet and bready.

500ml bottle. It pours an almost hazy-looking bright light pale orange with a frothy white head that gives a bit of lacing. The smell is of malt syrup and a hint of hops. Taste is typical pale lager. Nowhere near a pils. It is malty with a hop flavor but not bitterness, really generic and plain.

500ml bottle in a footed pilsener. Pours light golden with a white head. Aroma of bread and dough with very light hops. Average texture. Nothing special here.

Bottle. Pours with a hazy golden-orange body and a white head. Aroma of sweet, bready notes, grass, fruity esters and dove soap. Taste is sweet and similar to a doughy hawaiian bread. Light hop and metallic bitterness. Light, prickly bubbles.

Full bronze color, lively body, decent head. Light malt ball and dusty malt aroma with traces of wood barrel and cider. The flavor is likewise, lightly malty with dusty malt and a vein of barrell-aged woodiness with hints of malt cider vinegar.

Sampled 12/4/2008. This pilsner pours a yellow orange gold color from a 500ml bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head with decent retention and nice lacing. The aroma is grainy and cereal with some floral hops. A medium bodied pilsner. The malts are cereal and grainy. The hops are herbal and floral. Nice balance. Good carbonation. This is a decent euro pilsner. A touch sweet and it would be nice if it had a little more spicy hops. Still, no real bad flaws with this one. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Bottle from By The Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a clear straw golden body with a fluffy white head. Nose of sweet cereal grains and corn. Sweet, mildly metallic flavor that died into a sugary bomb. Some nice qualities such as mouthfeel, but the overall impression was another crappy Polish adjunct beer.

Grassy nose, with a bit of a caramel apple sweetness under it. Bitter on the first sip, hops are pretty sharp and almost give a metallic note, but it softens a bit as my palate got used to it. Turned into a nice pils, crisp and clean.
